This Sentinel-built sanctuary has the Red Beach lifestyle and home and income arrangement down to a beautiful science. Crafted five years ago on a quiet, family-friendly lane with Orewa's tidal estuary in view, the owners have scrutinised every detail to execute a design-led and performance-enhanced family environment within a tropical Eden, landscaped for low-maintenance. The legal two-bedroom minor dwelling is entirely self-contained and situated for privacy, promising a stable rental yield. Home cooks will muse over the kitchen's culinary superiority with engineered counters, a plumbed fridge-freezer, Bosch appliances, and a walk-in butler's pantry. With the open lounge featuring a wood burning fireplace and the dining area naturally flowing outside to the portico, the format is ideal for celebrations that bring a focus on the palm fronds and firelight from the brazier, creating a perfect evening complemented by a bottle of wine. The gardens are a jewel with a natural-looking pond and water feature, the giant black Bird of Paradise, and a selection of established fruit trees and vege boxes. Each bedroom enjoys alfresco access and built-in wardrobing. The master is a top-floor retreat with an ensuite (showcasing a double-head shower) and views over the estuary waters. The fourth is set up as a guest room with a garden outlook and an outdoor shower right outside. The standalone tub in the primary bathroom serves as a luxurious source of relaxation. A study nook can be shut off from the living for work-from-home efficiency or helping the kids with their homework. Specifications that bring design quality into perspective include the walk-in linen storage, double garage with internal entry, ample off-street parking, intelligent security with cloud-based control, attic storage with dropdown stairs and guest powder room. Explore Orewa's beachfront dining and shopping with a scenic bike ride via private lane access to the estuary walkway only 100 metres from the door. It's an easy wander along the footpath to Silverdale Primary, Kingsway School, and a short cycle to Orewa College for the older kids. With an offering as all-inclusive as this, we've every reason to believe you won't find another like it.
