99 Waldorf Crescent, Orewa, Rodney

Tranquil family retreat with panoramic views

Feel the weight lift off your shoulders as you arrive home to this private and peaceful family retreat. It savours a prestigious, elevated position on this sought-after cul-de-sac and showcases panoramic views of Orewa and the Hauraki Gulf.

The two-level residence is crafted from sturdy brick and cedar and has been designed to face out towards the sea and capture optimum natural light and sun. A Yunca wood burner provides lovely winter warmth and ambiance in the open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen space, while sets of glass sliders create seamless indoor/outdoor connection in summer. The outlook is simply spectacular, with something to experience and enjoy every moment of every day - from the kite surfers, regattas and cruise ships to the ever-changing weather patterns.

Two bedrooms on this level are serviced by the family bathroom with bath and separate toilet, while the master suite upstairs enjoys the best views of the house. Directly accessible huge dry storage area up here is a handy spot for suitcases and all the extras.

The internal garage is oversized - not only extra long and wide, but extra high. It's carpeted and has plenty of space for a workshop and storage. There is also huge amounts of off-street parking available, with enough room for extra cars, the boat or RV.

A choice of two very generous outdoor living areas provide the perfect place to host friends and large family gatherings. The property is surprisingly spacious, comprising 1110sqm of landscaped gardens, lawns and native bush. This is home to many native birds and has a walking track meandering through it, arriving at a private pergola. It's a wonderful place for kids to explore and play or enjoy a quiet moment in nature.

Orewa beach, village schools and motorway onramps are just a short drive away.
