Former prime minister Dame Jacinda Ardern’s house in Auckland is going on the auction block this evening.
The 1930s bungalow with "traditional weatherboard charm", located in Sandringham, is scheduled to go under the hammer at 6pm.
The estimated sale price range was between $2.12 million and $2.46 million, according to realestate.co.nz. The average sale price of other houses in the suburb was $1.45 million.
The listing described the four-bedroom, two-bathroom property as a "family-focused forever home".
"Step inside, and the home unfolds to tell a beautiful story of evolution. A modern extension seamlessly bridges the gap between eras, transforming the traditional footprint into an airy, high-stud haven that frames green garden views through soaring windows," it read.
"Peaceful, except for the native birdsong, and exceptionally secure, this property delivers ideal family living just moments from the popular Balmoral School."
The Facebook listing hinted at the former owners with the caption: "Step inside a former Prime Minister's Sandringham home."
Dame Jacinda and her partner Clarke Gayford moved into the home in early 2018, following her rise to Prime Minister in October, 2017. The couple welcomed their daughter Neve Te Aroha in June 2018.
Following her resignation in 2023, Dame Jacinda and her family spent time living in the US, where she undertook fellowships at Harvard University.
The former politician and her family relocated to Sydney earlier this year.
Speaking on Australia's Today show earlier this month, Dame Jacinda said Australia was a "wonderful place to be".
"There's so many similarities between Kiwis and Aussies, and so it's so like home in so many ways," she said.
