Description

A spacious, modern home with room to grow; delivering flexibility, city proximity and coastal convenience. Spread across two generous storeys, this impressive home offers six bedrooms and four bathrooms - perfect for large or extended families, multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or creating dedicated spaces like a media room, home office, or hobby studio. Whatever your lifestyle needs, this home adapts with ease. Originally built in 2006 as a brick, three-bedroom, two-bathroom home, it was always designed with family in mind. As family grew, so did the house - with the addition of a second level creating a new master suite with ensuite, three more double bedrooms, and an additional family bathroom. The welcoming foyer sits alongside the integrated double garage, with stairs leading to the upper level. To the right, sun-filled open-plan living unfolds - kitchen, dining, and lounge seamlessly connected for everyday living and entertaining. Stacker sliders extend the living spaces out to a large north-facing timber deck, now fully covered to provide shelter and year-round usability. This addition has effectively created another spacious living zone - perfect for gatherings with family and friends, rain or shine. The kitchen is light and bright, featuring white cabinetry, black granite-look laminate benchtops, a blue glass splashback, gas hob, and electric wall oven - well positioned at the heart of the home. In the lounge, a gas fireplace provides efficient warmth, with a recessed TV above creating a clean, modern focal point. Additional

features include gas Infinity hot water, central vacuum system, and substantial storage beneath the staircase. Downstairs, the original master suite sits privately at the rear, while another bedroom enjoys semi-ensuite access to the family bathroom. Upstairs, all bedrooms capture neighbourhood views and abundant natural light. There's convenience of internal-access double garaging and generous space for parking and easy vehicle turning. Positioned in a desirable central pocket, close to West End School (with the Davies Lane entrance just up the road), Devon Intermediate School, local sports grounds, Todd Energy Aquatic Centre, beaches, CBD and the iconic Coastal Walkway - offering an enviable lifestyle of city convenience. *Source of information: NPDC, Property Smarts, Property Guru (non-verified).

Key Fact

NZ has strict biosecurity laws — importing food, plants, or outdoor gear can result in heavy fines. The work-life balance is exceptional, but the job market is small and remote from everywhere.

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.
