Description
A home that will take your family to new heights, 844B Manukau Road is a lock-and-leave residence that will provide you with a substantial home in an elite
location where coffee and culture are at the forefront. Tucked away from the street and one of only three homes on your own Freehold title, once you step inside, you will feel like you're a world away in a private oasis. A nicely presented entrance hallway provides a warm welcome inside. On the ground level there is a master bedroom option with a walk-in wardrobe and semi-ensuite. This room is perfect for multi-generational families, teens or guests. There is also a double internal access garage and a sizeable courtyard. Facing North, the home benefits from ample sunshine that streams in. Upstairs, the living area is very spacious and has a lovely balcony. The layout is well-designed and flows smoothly into the open-plan dining room with a cohesive kitchen and separate powder room. Upstairs, the master bedroom has an outlook to One Tree Hill and its own ensuite. Two further bedrooms share a family bathroom and are both a great size. Warm, cosy and well-maintained, this home will suit families looking for space, flexibility and style.
Location-wise, it's convenient, connected and with easy walkability. Jellico Park, Royal Oak amenities, Ollies, Flex & Snap fitness gyms, Cornwall Park and No 117 cafe to name a few are all within walking distance. You are also a short drive to Greenwoods corner, Southern and western motorways, top private schools, Onehunga train station and local restaurants. You will not be left wanting here. Motivated vendors are on the move after 10+ years. This is your moment, so don't miss it! Call Brittany on 0225 239 225 for a private tour or to get further information. Conjunctional agents are more than welcome.
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.

Next steps for moving to New Zealand
Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.
Understand the buying rules
Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.
Sort out your visa
Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.
Plan your finances
Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.
Know your tax obligations
US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.
Set up healthcare
Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.
Run the full checklist
Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
