Some homes are bought with the head. Others are chosen with the heart. This one rewards both. Designed and built with longevity in mind, this coastal townhouse delivers a rare combination of solid construction, a well-considered layout, and genuine lifestyle flexibility — all wrapped in a location that continues to perform over time. Concrete block foundations, concrete inter-level flooring, and a cavity plaster system provide reassurance you can rely on. But this is not a house that lives on paper. Life here flows to a different rhythm. Mornings begin with the reserve at your doorstep and the beach just steps away. Days unfold easily — coffee in the village, a swim between commitments, or time at home with light filling the living spaces. Evenings are for gathering, where the central living level opens to a sheltered deck designed to be enjoyed year-round. What truly sets this home apart is its adaptability. The lower level operates almost as a home within a home — privately accessed and previously run as a high-end Airbnb, yet equally suited to guests, extended family, or a professional workspace. Freehold ownership removes complexity. No body corporate fees. Just autonomy, simplicity, and ease — increasingly rare this close to the shoreline. Less than five minutes’ flat walk connects you to Orewa’s cafés, restaurants, and coastal energy, while the home itself remains quietly positioned beside green reserve and shoreline pathways. This is not a holiday house pretending to be permanent. It is a well-built, well-located coastal asset that works — whether you live in it, generate income, or hold it confidently into the future. Homes like this are seldom available, because once you understand what they offer, you don’t let them go.
