Puriri Avenue, Orewa, Auckland

Savouring an extraordinary position just two back from Orewa beach, this stylish coastal sanctuary was rebuilt to a high standard by the current owners just three years ago. Its prime location, considered design and easy-care grounds make it the ideal lock-up-and-leave property, holiday home or permanent residence by the sea. 

Durable Nu-Wall cladding was not only utilised for its impressive aesthetic, but to perfectly withstand the coastal conditions. The floorplan was reimagined to better showcase views and to create multiple spaces for living and entertaining, both inside and out. Crisp white interiors are highlighted with black feature accents and full height joinery captures optimum light, sun and ocean vistas. 

Living and dining spaces enjoy a seamless flow on entry level, with the front deck looking straight down to the waves crashing on the shore. The chef’s kitchen boasts a Belling oven, an island bench and abundant storage, and flows out to the expansive rear deck and private spa area. 

Tucked privately in its own wing, the tranquil master has a private deck, walk-in robe and luxurious ensuite. The upper floor overlooks the kitchen below and looks out to the Alice Eaves Scenic Reserve. There’s an office nook up here, as well as two bedrooms serviced by the main bathroom with bath. Downstairs offers the separate laundry and carpeted internal double garage.

The property is tucked at the end of tightly-held Puriri Ave, an exclusive beachside cul-de-sac just footsteps from the sand. All Orewa’s shops, bars and eateries are just an easy, flat stroll away along the street or sand, plus the motorway onramp is handy for travelling outside the area.
