Description

From the first glance, this neat and tidy home makes a great impression, offering broad appeal in an exceptionally convenient location. Spacious rooms, city views, character

features and a studio room, are all on offer here. The living spaces at the rear of the home offer privacy and comfort, open plan, with the lounge with heat pump, leading outdoors via beautiful wooden joinery. A large dining space is next to a modern kitchen with wooden floor, stone tops and good storage. Feature woodwork continues through to three excellent bedrooms. The master enjoys fantastic storage, stunning city views, and its own access to the spacious tiled family bathroom, complete with underfloor heating, spa bath and separate shower. The hallway provides the linen cupboard, a cleverly hidden laundry for added practicality and access to further attic storage. The split level, fenced section is easy care with a lovely patio space, low maintenance garden with tasteful plantings, a very useful studio room, for working from home, hobbies or guests and a single garage, while a freshly painted exterior and a roof replaced in 2020 add peace of mind. Equally close to the Mornington village or Dunedin's CBD you have the best of both worlds, with a quiet suburban feel and everything you need close at hand. This is a lovely home, with a comforting heart, see you at the open home.

Key Fact

NZ has strict biosecurity laws — importing food, plants, or outdoor gear can result in heavy fines. The work-life balance is exceptional, but the job market is small and remote from everywhere.

Next steps for moving to New Zealand

Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.

1

Understand the buying rules

Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.

2

Sort out your visa

Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.

3

Plan your finances

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

4

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.

5

Set up healthcare

Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.

6

Run the full checklist

Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
