Description
Property pack available for direct download from the listing on our Tall Poppy website. Recently renovated to a high standard and designed with modern family living in mind, 32 Bradford Street offers a great balance of comfort, space and practicality. Solidly built and set back from the street, the home enjoys a peaceful setting with a rural outlook feel. Step inside and you’re welcomed into a light-filled, sunny, spacious home where the recent extension has created a generous and highly functional living area. Designed for everyday living, this space brings everyone together with ease. At the heart of the home is the modern kitchen, featuring a large island bench, quality appliances and excellent storage. From here, you look out to a large deck, ideal for enjoying elevated views. The space connects effortlessly to the spacious lounge, where a wood burner adds warmth and a cosy feel. The home has been fully insulated, relined, and is mostly double glazed, making it comfortable all year round. Off the central hallway are three good-sized bedrooms and a large family bathroom with a shower, freestanding bath and vanity. The master suite stands out, complete with a walk-in wardrobe and a modern ensuite. Outside, there’s plenty on offer with internal access double garaging combined with the laundry, a large section with room for kids and pets, a dog kennel and fencing for privacy. All of this is just minutes from the CBD, giving you the best of both convenience and a quieter setting. This is one of those houses that ticks so many boxes and surely will not last in today's market.

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.
