Description
Near the end of Konini Street’s cul de sac, this charming 1910s home offers a lifestyle wrapped in character, sunshine, and everyday ease. From the moment you step inside, there’s a sense of warmth and welcome — a home with history in its bones and comfort in every corner. The kitchen sets the tone with its timeless appeal, opening into a separate dining room where family meals and morning coffees naturally unfold, complete with a cosy wood burner. From here, the living room draws you in with its relaxed ambience before spilling out to the sun soaked north facing deck — a favourite spot for slow weekends, shared meals, and watching the day drift by. Four double bedrooms provide space for everyone, each thoughtfully refurbished to reflect the unique tastes of the children, adding personality and charm to the already inviting layout. Partial double glazing, a family bathroom with both bath and shower, a separate toilet, and a cleverly tucked away laundry keep life simple and practical. Outside, the fully fenced section — complete with high, secure fencing — creates a private haven where children and pets can roam freely and safely. A double garage and generous off street parking add to the convenience, while the grounds still offer plenty of potential for those who love to add their own touch over time. With its character, comfort, and family friendly setting, this is the kind of home that feels instantly right — the perfect first step into homeownership or a place to settle in and grow. At 46 Konini Street, life feels easy, connected, and full of possibility. *** Deadline for Offers Close 4pm Friday 10th April 2026 (Unless Sold Prior) ***

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.
