Did you say... HOT HOT HOT ASKING PRICE: $679,000 Village Vibe: Terrace House + Double Garage Experience a great village lifestyle on the city fringe! This spacious terrace house offers an easy lock-up-and-leave lifestyle in one of Auckland's trendy Central suburbs, Eden Terrace. Situated in a boutique complex of just 18 terraced houses with the beautiful Basque Park st the end of the street as your backyard, there is a lot on offer to you here. Spread across three levels, this is a superb apartment alternative. This terraced house offers low maintenance and peace of mind having completed remedial work and council sign off in 2020. The double garage has ample storage space, ensuring convenience for all your toys. Split-level living offers complete privacy and versatility throughout your home with the second level being the social and living area while the third level offers privacy for the the two bedrooms and the bathroom. This property has been a superb investment for the vendors. If you are looking to add to your portfolio or are you a first home buyer, this property is a must-see. The vendors are more motivated to sell than the All Blacks are to find a new coach. Low body corporate fees ($4,385.32 pa) keep expenses manageable, allowing you to invest wisely. Terraced houses rent at a premium compared to apartments, and with low outgoings such as these, there is potential for a healthy return. This has been a investment property for the vendors for the last 13 years with a consistent net return.

Location
Open in Google MapsLiving in Auckland
Multicultural harbor city that feels like a softer version of California -- great food scene, easy nature access, and a strong work-life balance culture. Housing is expensive (NZ ranks 7th globally for home prices) and everything costs more due to import prices, but salaries come with generous time off and strong worker protections. The biggest adjustment is the distance -- getting home to visit family is a long, expensive flight.
Morning surf before work, weekends tramping through Lord-of-the-Rings landscapes, and a laid-back culture where shoes are optional and nature is never more than ten minutes away.

Plan your finances
Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.
