15f Puriri Avenue, Orewa, Rodney

Affordable apartment by the sea

Enjoying peace and privacy on the third floor of The Palms in Orewa, this spacious seaside apartment enjoys elevated views of Alice Eaves bush and beyond. Ocean-lovers will relish its incredible location, which is approximately a four-minute flat walk from pristine Orewa beach.

Spacious proportions and an exceptional location combine with the freedom, flexibility and security of lock-up-and-leave living, making this the perfect permanent residence or holiday home. For small families, executive couples and singles, it presents an affordable entry into a premium coastal location, and promises an easy, low-maintenance lifestyle.

Both lift and stair access is available to the building's top floor. A sought-after, private position on the north-east corner provides the interior with plenty of light and sun all day, as well as showcases tranquil bush views.

The central open-plan kitchen, living and dining space is embraced on two sides with enclosed balconies, which allow for all-season enjoyment. Large sliding windows can be opened right up to allow sea breezes to flow in during summer days and nights.

The master suite sits alone on one side of the apartment and has its own ensuite, while the other two bedrooms and main bathroom are located in their own wing. One of these bedrooms has a peep of the sea, while the other opens out to the front enclosed deck.

Internal garaging is accessed from the ground floor lobby and this apartment enjoys one of the larger ones available. This is in conjunction with another allocated off-street carpark. Landscaped tropical grounds create a resort-style atmosphere and residents share use of a new outdoor seating area, a heated indoor pool, tennis court and recreation room.

A change of circumstance means the owner is now selling after decades of happy memories.
