Description

Step inside and immediately appreciate the sense of scale. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area forms the heart of the home, designed for both everyday living and easy entertaining, while a separate lounge provides a cosy retreat for relaxed TV nights or quiet downtime. The kitchen is a standout, featuring engineered stone benchtops, a walk-in pantry, striking glass splashback, and a 900mm gas hob with wall oven, complemented by Bosch appliances. It's a space that looks impressive and functions beautifully. Accommodation is generous with four bedrooms in total. Three double bedrooms are serviced by double wardrobes, while the extra-large master suite offers a true retreat, complete with walk-in wardrobe, ensuite, and seamless flow out to the outdoor entertaining area. Both the family bathroom and ensuite feature tiled floors and showers, creating a stylish feel throughout. Comfort is assured year-round with double glazing and two air conditioning units, while beautiful drapes, sheer curtains, and stylish blinds add a refined finish to every room. Keyless entry adds everyday convenience and peace of mind. Outdoor living is just as impressive. The covered entertaining area, protected by a louvre system, is ideal for hosting friends or enjoying quiet evenings at home. The backyard is private, immaculately kept, and designed to be low maintenance, while the fully fenced section offers a safe haven for children and pets. One of the true

highlights is the large triple car garage - a space to behold and a real asset for families, hobbyists, or those needing extra storage. Located in the ever-popular Parkwood Estate, you'll enjoy wide roads, a welcoming neighbourhood, the local cafe just up the hill, the golf course only a short chip away, and easy access to all levels of schooling. Zoned for sought-after David Street School, this is a home that not only delivers lifestyle today but also represents a smart investment for the future. A beautifully presented, modern home in a

location that continues to impress - this is one you'll want to experience for yourself.

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.
