45 Bruce Street

Positioned atop the generous allotment providing privacy with sweeping views over the treetops, this double storey beach house delivers relaxed Peninsula living in a peaceful back beach setting. Tall windows on both levels capture the ever changing outlook and flood the interiors with natural light, while the generous garden feels private and wonderfully connected to nature. Inside, the floorplan is perfectly scaled for families and holiday makers, with two large living zones providing excellent separation for kids and adults. The ground floor combines a spacious lounge with a fireplace, dining area and an original yet charming kitchen, where wide benches, open shelving and a breakfast bar create an inviting heart of the home for casual meals and entertaining. Wide doors open directly from the lounge to lawn and terrace, making it easy to spill outside for summer barbecues and long afternoons in the sun. Upstairs, the second living room runs almost the full width of the home, oriented to soak up the views, an ideal retreat for quiet evenings, movie nights or a relaxed games space. The main bedroom enjoys its own ensuite, while three additional bedrooms, all with built in robes, share a family bathroom, ensuring comfortable accommodation for guests or growing families. Subtle coastal styling, neutral tones and soft carpeting enhance the sense of calm throughout the upper level. Practical comforts include split system heating and cooling, a wood heater, a separate study/fifth bedroom on the ground floor for those needing a work from home or guest space, and a full laundry and second bathroom for rinsing off after the beach. A carport and long driveway provide ample off street parking for cars, a boat or jet ski, while the surrounding gardens offer plenty of scope for further landscaping or adding your own outdoor entertaining zone. Positioned in a quiet pocket with 16th Beach and the national park close by, this property is ready to enjoy now as a relaxed coastal escape. Whether used as a permanent home or a classic Peninsula weekender, it offers an appealing blend of space, views and seaside lifestyle in one of Rye's most sought after back beach precincts.
