Description
Set on a sunny, flat 591sqm fenced section, this well-kept home offers comfort, practicality, and a layout that simply works for everyday living. Step inside and you’re welcomed by light-filled spaces, enhanced by soft tones paired with grey carpet for a calm, cohesive feel. The separate lounge provides a cosy retreat, ideal for quiet evenings or movie nights, while a heat pump keeps things comfortable year-round. The kitchen is a standout, with its U-shaped bench offering generous prep space, excellent storage, and a breakfast bar that makes busy mornings that bit easier. Three bedrooms include wardrobes, supported by a well-appointed bathroom plus the convenience of a separate toilet and a dedicated laundry. Outdoors, the sunny patio creates a relaxed setting for entertaining or unwinding, with a secure backyard offering space for kids or pets. The brick exterior keeps maintenance low, complemented by a Coloursteel roof just 3–4 years old. A single garage is paired with off-street parking for up to three vehicles. With a 110m2
floor area and broad appeal for first home buyers, downsizers, or families, this is a property that ticks the right boxes. Contact Riley 027 441 6308 to arrange a viewing today.

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.
