Description
**Open Home Cancelled Due to Cyclone** A striking new build with architectural flair, this superbly finished home brings together contemporary styling, clever design, and relaxed coastal living. Every detail has been curated to offer comfort, efficiency, and a modern aesthetic that will appeal to those wanting something a step above the ordinary. Presenting a sharp 2025 profile, the exterior blends Abodo and Oblique cladding with a bagged brick base and Coloursteel roofing—clean lines and durable materials that set the tone for what continues inside. The interior palette pairs warm timber-look flooring with crisp white walls, ceramic stone-look benchtops, and brushed gunmetal tapware for a cohesive, high-end finish. Elevated on the upper level, the main living spaces benefit from their vantage point across the surrounding streetscape. Raking ceilings add volume to the open-plan lounge and dining area, making the entire zone feel light, spacious, and inviting. The designer kitchen is a standout—its waterfall island, generous walk-in pantry, quality appliances, and abundant storage make everyday living effortless. The master suite is also positioned upstairs, featuring a tiled wet-room ensuite and a thoughtfully arranged walk-in wardrobe. A study nook is neatly positioned before the master, providing a quiet corner for work or study, while a stylish powder room services the upper floor. Downstairs, the main bathroom continues the same sleek aesthetic, complemented by additional bedrooms including one with direct access to the patio—ideal as a second living space, guest room, or teen retreat. Carpeted garaging with insulated doors, a stacker laundry, and excellent storage ensure practicality matches the home’s style. Outdoors, the freehold section is landscaped for easy care, offering off-street parking, level lawns, and a versatile patio perfect for alfresco dining or future additions such as a spa pool. With New World a short walk away, easy proximity to Suzanne Aubert Catholic School, and the Karewa Beach access just minutes from your door, this
location places modern convenience and coastal recreation at your fingertips. SH2 ensures quick connections through Papamoa and beyond.

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.
