Description
Positioned on an elevated site and capturing breathtaking views across the city, harbour, and out to the stunning Dunedin coastline, 10 Carson Street presents a home that offers space, flexibility, and exciting future potential. Set across two well-designed levels, the home
features three generous double bedrooms, light filled open-plan living, and a layout that works perfectly for modern family life. The upper level forms the heart of the home where the modern kitchen, dining, and living area are filled with natural light and framed by the spectacular outlook. It is a space designed for both relaxation and entertaining, where you can unwind at the end of the day while enjoying the ever-changing view. Accommodation includes three comfortable double bedrooms, all with built in wardrobes, including a master bedroom complete with ensuite. A family bathroom with toilet services the home, while the lower level also offers a storage room that could easily adapt to suit your needs, whether that be hobbies, a workspace, or additional storage. Indoor-outdoor flow to the deck creates the perfect setting for summer entertaining, while a double garage and ample off-street parking provide everyday convenience. Adding further appeal is the opportunity to secure the additional 506sqm section next door. For extended families or buyers thinking
about the future, this presents an outstanding chance to purchase both properties and future proof for your familys needs. Privately positioned yet only minutes from Mornington shops and cafes, South Dunedin shopping centre, and the popular St Clair and St Kilda beaches, this well-located home offers comfort, flexibility, and long-term value in a sought-after setting.

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.
