Description
Set on its own 266sqm (more or less) freehold title in sought-after Maeroa, the home enjoys a prominent street-front position with the added advantage of no body corporate fees. Built in 2023 and carefully maintained, it continues to reflect the clean lines and crisp presentation of a near-new property. Tenanted since its purchase in 2023 and delivering immediate income for astute investors, this contemporary residence presents a smart, low-hassle option, while remaining an equally appealing choice for first-home buyers or downsizers seeking modern simplicity. Inside, the thoughtfully configured 102sqm (approx.) layout is designed for effortless living. Sunlight pours in through its north-west aspect, illuminating a spacious open-plan living and dining zone that connects seamlessly to a private patio via wide stacking doors. The kitchen makes a confident statement in white, complemented by stainless steel appliances and a breakfast bar that anchors everyday gatherings. Three generous double bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, serviced by a modern main bathroom and the added practicality of a separate second toilet. Double glazing throughout, a centrally positioned heat pump, and electric hot water ensure year-round comfort. Internal access garaging with integrated laundry enhances convenience and security.
Location further elevates the appeal. Positioned between Hamilton's CBD and The Base, the address offers exceptional
accessibility to retail, services, and entertainment. Your morning coffee is within easy reach at Sugar Bowl Cafe, while public transport links and
nearby parks round out the lifestyle advantages. Clear instructions are in place - this property is to be sold. Contact Ray or Christine from Your Team today to arrange your private viewing or request an information pack. For more information, go to: https://www.propertyfiles.co.nz/RU34658

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.
