Located at the very heart of Orewa and just a short, flat stroll from the beach, this luxury freehold penthouse is a feat of construction, design and interior style. The extremely spacious single-level floorplan offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms and balcony, plus comes with two secure carparks and a large storage locker.

It is part of the award-winning and much-admired Hoppers Building, an innovative boutique development that rises up only three levels. Crafted three years ago by Hopper Developments (who have their offices on level two) it features environmentally-friendly living walls and is built from solid concrete. There is a sushi restaurant in the elegant, lift-accessed lobby downstairs, with the supermarket and all the bars, boutiques, restaurants and cafes of Orewa just footsteps from the front door.

Inspired interiors capture the perfect balance of edgy industrial style and modern luxury - enhanced with three metre stud heights, vaulted skylights and an abundance of storage throughout. Three walls of huge glass sliders open out to the central deck, which is protected by a LouvreTec system and flooded with glorious westerly sunsets. The chef's kitchen boasts quality appliances and Primestone bench tops.

The master with ensuite is located at one end of the residence, with the remaining two bedrooms, main bathroom, study nook and large separate laundry enclosed in their own wing at the other. As expected from a contemporary build of this caliber, the residence boasts an exemplary level of thermal and acoustic protection, coupled with air conditioning for all-year-round comfort.

Either a beautiful beachside bolthole or a sophisticated permanent residence, this apartment's excellent security, significant space and captivating style make it your ultimate sanctuary by the sea.
