Located in the sought after lower Wallace Street area of Wye River, Drift is every bit about about location as it is about features and amenity. Those who know Wye River know how rare it is to be able to easily slip to and from the beach or shops without working up a sweat on your way home. In the case of Drift, even if you do, a quick dip in the spa will sort that out.
As amazing in summer as it is in winter, Drift ticks every box for every season. The open plan overlooks the summer beach activities equally as impressively as is does the cold winter swells. In fact, winter is even more enchanting with the warm fireplace.
The home is modern, light filled, well styled and set across 2 storeys. The lower level includes 2 separate bedrooms and main bathroom. Ascending a central stairwell, the upper level is fully open plan. This open plan even includes the ensuited master bedroom which means this home perfectly suits one couple who like the idea of waking up to the ocean view.
Double sliding doors both front and rear of the main living allow the space to expand at will, with the rear area featuring a built-in BBQ and hot tub.
Other features include a gas log fire, full service laundry, Nespresso coffee machine, off-street parking, reverse cycle heating and A/C, air fryer and slow cooker.
Best suited to couples or small families, Drift welcomes those looking for a quiet beach getaway in contemporary surrounds.
