Description
With the vendors having relocated, this beautifully renovated Roslyn home is now offered with clear intent to sell in a
location where quality homes are rarely available. Positioned in Highgate, the home enjoys exceptional sun and sweeping views across the harbour, coastline, and city beyond. Traditional character has been carefully preserved and paired with modern finishes to create a home that feels both timeless and effortless. At the heart of the home, the kitchen and dining space connects seamlessly with the main living area, where feature ceilings and a wood burner create warmth and atmosphere. This space flows naturally to a private outdoor entertaining area, framed by glass balustrades and designed to capture light and views year round. The master suite is conveniently located on the entry level, offering a peaceful retreat with excellent separation. Additional bedrooms and flexible living spaces are thoughtfully arranged to suit families with teenagers or those seeking a genuine multi generational living setup. Thoughtfully upgraded throughout, this is a home that balances comfort, quality, and position, just minutes from Roslyn Village, schools, and the city.

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.
