Dame Jacinda Ardern's former Sandringham home has successfully sold. The four-bedroom, 1930s bungalow was sold by Ray White through a private negotiation after being withdrawn at auction, with the new buyers described as "over the moon."

The sale follows Ardern's move to Australia. The renovated property, which has a CV of $2.3 million, attracted significant interest from families due to its scale, modern extension, and multiple outdoor living areas, including a garden studio.
