Stansell Avenue
We very nearly became Kiwi homeowners last week, when we bid but ultimately lost out on an auction for 58 Stansell Avenue overlooking Tahunanui beach in Nelson. It is a lovely house, but we set ourselves a (fairly high) limit, then went $7.5K over this limit, before dropping out. There were only two bidders (including us) for the property for the last $15-20K, hence we were really close but the other party were obviously prepared to pay more than us.
In some ways, it is possibly a good thing. A house would incur costs and distract us from our next move across the globe. Plus we've still got cash in the bank!
The view from the house was lovely, so I've posted a view photos for us all to enjoy. Nearly as good as the real thing.
