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.

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.
