Description
Tucked privately to the rear, this well-presented home offers an easy, low-maintenance lifestyle without compromising on comfort or accommodation space. Whether you're stepping onto the property ladder, downsizing, or adding to your investment portfolio, this is a smart, affordable option that ticks all the right boxes. Positioned as the back unit, the home enjoys added privacy along with the bonus of 2 off-street parking - a real advantage not often found at this price point. The outdoor area is a standout, offering a sunny, low-care space that's perfect for relaxed entertaining or simply unwinding at the end of the day. Inside, the layout is practical and inviting, with three well-proportioned bedrooms supported by a tidy, modern bathroom. The open-plan kitchen, living and dining area forms the heart of the home, filled with natural light and designed for easy everyday living. Constructed in 2012, you'll appreciate the benefits of modern building standards like double glazing, providing peace of mind and comfort year-round. The unit title and body corporate structure offer a simplified, lock-and-leave lifestyle, with shared maintenance helping to keep the overall upkeep of the property manageable - an appealing feature for busy homeowners, downsizers or investors alike. Offered to the market vacant, there is immediate possession available, allowing you to move in or rent out without delay. Well-priced at $499,000, this is an opportunity not to be missed. Contact Blair Pointon or Kristina Emson today for further information or to arrange your own private viewing.

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.
