Description
Featuring a consented self-contained two-bedroom granny flat, this home is perfectly set up for extended family living, guests or Airbnb income - all tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac with stunning inner harbour views. Built in 1971 and extensively renovated in 2022, it spans 401m² (approx.) on a generous 1,283m² (approx.) section, providing space for children, parents and grandparents to enjoy their own corners yet stay connected. Upstairs, the main home
features three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and two spacious living rooms, each sunny and welcoming for family time, quiet moments or entertaining. The chef’s kitchen is a standout, with premium appliances, stone benchtops and a layout perfect for casual dinners or lively gatherings. A lift between floors ensures ease of living and accessibility, linking to the downstairs granny flat with its own bathroom, separate living room, kitchen and large storage room. Perfect for extended family, visiting guests or Airbnb income, it offers independence while keeping everyone connected. The huge laundry doubles as a hobby or craft space, while landscaped gardens with fruit trees and lawns are ideal for children and pets. The massive internal-access double garage provides workshop space and storage, with off-street parking for extra vehicles, a caravan, trailer or boat. With the kids grown and flown, our owners, along with granny, are downsizing, creating a rare chance for a new family to enjoy a home where generations thrive, share moments and make lasting memories. Location, luxury, lifestyle and liveability combine in this exceptional multigenerational home.

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.
