Description
Completed in 2020, this near-new brick residence presents an exceptional opportunity to secure a stylish, well-appointed home in a sought-after
location on the outskirts of town, right on the Denby Road walkway, and only a short trip to schools and local amenities. Offering 191sqm of thoughtfully designed living, the home comprises four spacious double bedrooms, including a luxurious master suite featuring a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, and access to the deck – a perfect spot for that spa! A tidy family bathroom services the remaining bedrooms with a separate toilet and internal access double garaging for added convenience. At the heart of the home, open-plan living and dining is enhanced by a second lounge, creating versatile spaces suited to both relaxed family living and effortless entertaining. Expansive stacker doors open seamlessly onto a large, covered deck complete with a louvre system, providing an inviting outdoor retreat for year-round enjoyment. Constructed in low-maintenance brick and fully double glazed, the home delivers comfort, warmth, and energy efficiency. The addition of a storage room or sleepout to the rear of the section offers valuable flexibility for guests, hobbies, or additional workspace. Immaculately presented and designed for modern lifestyles, this home combines quality, space, and
location to outstanding effect.

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.
