20 The Ritz, Orewa, Rodney District, Auckland

AUCTION 10am, Thursday 27 February 2025 (unless sold prior)

This architectural marvel embraces a large corner site at the top of The Ritz on one of Orewa’s premier streets. The immaculate two-level residence was designed by Simon Carnachan and crafted by a builder as his own home. Grand proportions and extraordinary attention to detail throughout, as well as elevated sea views and multiple outdoor living areas, make it a dream for all-season living and entertaining.

This spacious home is crafted from aluminum framed glass, concrete, cedar and a cavity plaster system with copper spouting and enjoys a good sense of privacy from the street. The soaring double height entrance foyer sets the scene for the impressive scale inside, where architectural ingenuity is enhanced with high quality European fixtures, fittings and appliances.

The well-equipped kitchen and dining space is open plan and flows into a cosy family room, while the lounge has a cathedral-style timber ceiling, with walls of aluminum framed glass on either side illuminating it with light and sun. All spaces can be closed off via cavity sliders when required.

Sets of doors can be opened up to the many al fresco living areas during summer, while two open fires and two heat pumps provide winter warmth. The private outdoor zones incorporate courtyards, a covered terrace, lush gardens and multiple decks.

All four bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a study nook are located upstairs and are divided by an open mezzanine walkway. The master retreat has its own ensuite and private deck, which enjoys the best views of the house.

The internal double garage is carpeted and has plenty of workshop space. Outside, there is ample additional space to park cars, a boat and caravan on the paved driveway.

This sought-after neighbourhood is within easy walking distance from the Orewa village and beautiful beach, as well as close to motorway onramps north and south.
