The new-build feel. The coastal lifestyle. The price you've been waiting for. Built in 2023. Beautifully designed. Move-in ready. And just moments from Whitebait Creek and the Foxton Beach estuary. If you've been searching for a modern home that ticks all the boxes without the price tag, building stress and never-ending maintenance that can come with starting from scratch — stop scrolling. You've found it.

Welcome to 18A Norton Street, where contemporary design meets easy coastal living — and where there's very little left to do except unpack the boxes and put the kettle on.

Step inside and the difference is immediate. Light, stylish and beautifully considered, this is a home that feels fresh, modern and effortlessly comfortable.

The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area is the heart of the home. The sleek kitchen pairs striking black appliances with stylish cabinetry and feature lighting, creating a space that looks fantastic and works just as well. It's the sort of kitchen that might even make you enjoy cooking. No promises, though — I'm here to sell the house, not performing miracles.

Then open the impressive stacking sliders and let the outside in. The living area flows onto a generous deck, where an uninterrupted outlook provides the perfect backdrop for entertaining, relaxing or simply enjoying your morning coffee. Be warned though, your morning coffee may start taking considerably longer. There's a view out there, and it would be rude not to enjoy it.

The main bathroom is every bit as impressive, with quality tiling, a stylish wet-room shower, vanity and a large bath made for long, relaxing soaks. In fact, it's the kind of bathroom where you could quite easily say, “I'll just have a quick bath,” and emerge three hours later wondering where the afternoon went.

The master bedroom is generous and peaceful, with an entire wall dedicated to wardrobes. A sliding door leads through to the beautifully finished ensuite, complete with shower, vanity and toilet.

Two further double bedrooms are light, spacious and fitted with wardrobes, giving you plenty of room for family, guests, hobbies or a home office.

The large single internal-access garage adds another layer of practicality, with room for the car, laundry and even a workshop space. Because, let's be honest, garages are rarely just for cars. They're for tools, bikes, kayaks, freezers, mysterious boxes you haven't opened since 2017... you get the idea.

Modern comfort comes as standard here, with double glazing, full insulation, heat pump and a thoughtful wheelchair-accessible design.

Outside, the home keeps life simple. The private rear section, paved driveway and easy-care landscaping mean less time mowing, weeding and generally wondering what that plant is doing there — and more time enjoying what Foxton Beach has to offer. Green thumb? Fantastic. Brown thumb? Even better. There's plenty of room to add some personality without signing yourself up for a lifetime of gardening.

And then there's the location. Close to Whitebait Creek, the Foxton Beach estuary and the coast, this is the kind of setting that makes everyday life feel like a getaway. Pop down to the estuary for a stroll. Enjoy the water. Head to the beach. Come home, open the sliders and settle onto the deck. Not a bad way to spend the day, eh?

So, what's the catch? Honestly, I'm struggling to find one.

You get the benefits of a near-new home without having to build it. The contemporary finishes are already chosen, the hard work is done, the landscaping is sorted and the home is ready for its next chapter.

Modern. Stylish. Accessible. Easy-care. Coastal.

Stop scrolling and walk through the front door - this one is worth getting off your device for. You never know. You might just walk in and think, “Yep. This is the one, Norton else is better.”
