321a Hibiscus Coast Highway, Orewa, Rodney

Life on the beach

Beachfront living doesn't get much better than this. Wake up to the sounds of the waves crashing on the shore, step straight out your front gate for a swim, and experience cinematic vistas of the full seascape when relaxing at home.

This solid brick townhouse is one of just two that are located right at the heart of Orewa. It celebrates a true connection with the sea and has been renovated to a high standard recently by the current owner. Double glazing, aluminium joinery and a new roof create a cosy and comfortable living environment all year round. A deceptively large floorplan is spread across a series of levels and even presents opportunity to run a business from home. Lots of parking onsite is an added bonus.

Stylish interior design enhances the relaxed coastal feel and a wall of sliding glass doors in the open-plan lounge, dining and new kitchen space showcases expansive views, thanks to the property's wide frontage. It opens out to the expansive deck and patio, where there is space to store your kayak or paddleboard.

On the ground floor the guest bedroom is serviced by its own bathroom and enjoys outdoor access - making it ideal for Airbnb or home office use. Internal access to the oversized single garage is also located down here. Upstairs, the bedroom and office (or single room) have their own bathroom, while the luxurious master boasts a generous ensuite with bath and the best views of the house.

This prime location is right at the heart of the township. It's at the centre of the beach and literally across the road and just footsteps from all the popular bars, cafes, restaurants, shops and supermarkets of Orewa.
