Description
A comprehensive property with many options for an expansive and enjoyable life, perfectly located for urban
amenities and education. This is the ideal property for a large or extended family or people who enjoy hosting overnight guests and entertaining. The solid home clad in Roskill stone has been upgraded to a high standard with a variety of accommodation options. The main living is all on one level where two lounges fan off the generous open plan area backed by a fresh and comprehensive kitchen. The large master suite and three other bedrooms plus bathrooms and laundry are all conveniently placed for easy living. A verandah wraps some of the living areas and spacious sunny covered outdoor living overlooks the in-ground pool, creating a resort style atmosphere. Heaven for children and grandchildren and so easy to keep an eye on them. Hobbyists or car collectors will appreciate the approximately 132sqm of copious basement garaging plus ample on-site parking which allows for serious ‘man cave’ interests and a stable of vehicles. Additional accommodation is accessed via the main home or its own entry, ideal as a guest wing for a family member. A second high quality dwelling with three bedrooms and fun outdoor areas is sited privately at the bottom of the garden. On 3,138 sqm of gently sloping grounds landscaped for future easy care, this people pleaser property is ideally located in a pretty and peaceful cul de sac within walking distance of local shops, near a large retail centre and offering choices for schooling.

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.
