Description
This brick house was built by Classic Builders in 2022. It is perfectly suited to retirees, young families, or investors. Positioned directly opposite a reserve (it will be ready soon), you can watch the kids play from the home while still enjoying generous space in the private backyard. Even with a large trampoline, there's plenty of room left for outdoor living and play. The open-plan kitchen and living area offers seamless indoor-outdoor flow, with large sliding doors opening to a sun-soaked patio - ideal for relaxed afternoons, summer entertaining. The layout is well arranged for both family living and guests, with comfortable bedrooms including a master with an ensuite, complemented by a fresh, modern family bathroom. A double internal-access garage, neutral tones throughout, and a thoughtful floorplan complete this move-in-ready package. Located in the centre of Lakes community, close to parks, walkways, cycle tracks, schools and daycares, with easy access to main arterial routes. Well-connected, well-established and ready for its next owner. This home, with its generous backyard space, won't last long. Call Dora today to secure your private viewing or visit us at the open 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.
