Description

Yes you are reading the heading right! My vendor is very motivated to move on and is now prepared to meet the market. Priced to sell at well under the current $1,025,000 CV. A pre-sale building inspection has been completed and the LIM is on its way. Perched on picturesque Dip Road in the popular suburb of Kamo, this generously proportioned 4-5 bedroom home offers considerable space, flexibility, and a wonderful sense of privacy in a semi-rural setting. With multiple living areas, four bedrooms plus office/study spaces, and a thoughtfully designed self-contained wing; the layout caters effortlessly to families, extended living, or work-from-home needs. Perfect for multi-generational families. Only having had 2 owners, 129A Dip Rd has been truly loved and lived in but is now ready for its next family to create their own special memories. Step inside this well-appointed home to discover a light-filled interior with ample living space for the whole family and then some, to enjoy. The modern kitchen is at the heart of the home, featuring working appliances, a breakfast bar and great views out onto the deck and bush area. The main lounge is huge and sliders open right up onto the massive deck. This North facing property gets lots of sun and plenty of birdlife are seen in and around the property. Down one wing, you will find an office and 3 bedrooms; 1 bedroom with an ensuite and slider door, taking you out to the deck. All the bedrooms are generously sized, offering privacy and tranquillity for restful nights. The main bathroom is cleverly designed, encompassing a separate toilet and shower/bath area to accommodate the family. The pleasant surprise here is the fully self-contained space in the other wing of the home; this area has its own kitchen space (with dishwasher), an office, laundry and bathroom leading into a large 4th bedroom area. The 2nd lounge is an inviting space to relax in and also has slider doors opening up onto the deck. This is a perfect area to be used for extended family, a teenage space or endless other opportunities for its use. Outside, the property

features a lock up garage, undercover carport and plenty of carparking. And that massive deck is just made for outdoor entertaining, soaking up the sun or simply unwinding in nature's embrace. Key

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.
