Description
This home is all
about comfort, ease and feeling instantly at home. Filled with natural light, it has a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes everyday living simple and enjoyable. The skylight in the kitchen brings in beautiful daylight, while the sunny layout creates a space you will love coming back to. The current owners have truly enjoyed their time here but have now outgrown this lovely home and are ready to upsize. It opens the door for someone new to step in and make it their own. Inside, both generously sized bedrooms are fitted with double glazed windows, and the heat pump in the dining area keeps the home warm and comfortable throughout. You will also appreciate the plenty of storage options throughout the home, making day to day living that much easier. The covered rear porch is a practical addition, ideal for drying laundry or keeping your gear organised in all weather. Step outside to a fully fenced backyard where you can unwind with ease. A concrete patio ready for barbeque evenings or just to sit and relax, and a shed for extra storage. It is a space that invites you to relax, while your beloved pet can safely roam and enjoy the outdoors. You will also appreciate the double off street parking, adding to the everyday convenience. Set within an established area and close to local amenities, this is a
location that supports easy day to day living. A home that has been well loved and ready for its next chapter. Whether you are starting out or downsizing, this is an opportunity to step into something that just feels right. For your peace of mind, this home was not affected by the recent flood event. Contact us to arrange a viewing and take that first step, you might just find yourself falling in love the moment you walk through the door.

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.
