7 Marellen Drive, Red Beach, Rodney District, Auckland

Current owner determined to sell to start her new phase of life. Time is of the essence.

Enjoy the relaxed tranquillity of seaside living in this immaculately presented modern, brick and weatherboard residence. It enjoys an exceptional position just one street back from beautiful Red Beach, which is approximately 150 steps away. Stylish, light filled interiors, excellent security, fully fenced, and easy-care landscaped grounds also make it an ideal lock-up-and-leave property.

The new chef’s kitchen is the hub of the home and is as functional as it is stunning. It boasts top of the line appliances including two Asko ovens, gas and induction cooking hob, two dish drawers, secret Liebherr bar fridge, engineered stone bench tops and plentiful, clever storage options. The casual living and dining area flows out to the rear patio, where a Vergola canopy and pull-down blinds create another room for all-season entertaining. This further extends to a herb and vegetable garden, giving easy access to the chef’s kitchen. The lounge opens out to another secure, private courtyard that is bathed in sun for your relaxing morning coffee. There is a bathroom and large storage room downstairs, with all four double bedrooms being upstairs along with the main bathroom. The master has shutters and enjoys gentle sounds of the sea when the windows are open, plus a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite.

This neighbourhood is a friendly and popular one, with many community hubs for socialising and recreation. These include Bayes Memorial Tennis Club and the award-winning Red Beach Surf Club. Red Beach is located at the very start of the Whangaparaoa Peninsula, meaning the relaxed beach lifestyle is still within easy 25-minute commuting distance of the CBD (off-peak). Great motorway access North and South. Five minutes away is Orewa’s delightful beachside township, offering relaxed shopping, dining and entertainment.
