This stylishly renovated, single-level apartment presents the ultimate in easy and affordable living just one block back from the beach. It's part of The Palms, a well-established, landmark complex located at the northern end of Orewa.

Residents enjoy a great sense of community living at The Palms. Lush, landscaped grounds create a relaxed, resort-style atmosphere here, as do the communal facilities. These include a newly-built deck and central seating area, as well as a heated indoor pool, recreation/games room and tennis court.

Security is paramount, with lobby access ensuring peace of mind. Apartment 9e is positioned on the top floor of the central ‘Nikau' building and, thanks to its prime north-east aspect, is flooded with sun all day. The interior is light-filled and open, with crisp white walls and a profusion of glass showcasing elevated views across to the Alice Eaves Scenic Reserve.

A ceiling fan circulates air in the open-plan lounge and dining space, which opens out on two sides to enclosed tiled balconies. These cleverly expand the room's footprint and offer additional space for all-season entertaining. The modern kitchen has dark stone bench tops and a breakfast island, and the separate laundry opens off this.

Accommodation is well separated, with the master enjoying its own wing with an ensuite and balcony access. The remaining two bedrooms are serviced by the separate toilet and family bathroom with bath.

While the township is just a pleasant, level stroll from home, the apartment comes with a single lock-up garage and a designated off-street park for extra vehicles or visitors.
