There’s something special about the attic space of this 1910 villa in Auckland’s Sandringham.
“There’s a huge space up here in the attic and you need to come and check it out because it’s something quite different, it’s not what you’d expect,” teases Harcourts agent Richard Humphreys of the space accessed via a dropdown ladder.
“So make a point — not at the open homes, mind you — come and check it out with a private inspection. You won’t be disappointed.”
The extensively refurbished three-bedroom, two-bathroom property set on an elevated, sunny site at 38 Leslie St, comes with a huge deck accessed via patio doors off the kitchen and a double garage complete with a workshop area.

Boasting its original timber floors, the villas has retained its character with its high-stud hallway, sash windows and panelled doors, while contemporary touches have been added for comfort including two luxurious tiled bathrooms (including the master en suite), a new heatpump, a high-spec designer kitchen with an engineered stone benchtop and a stack back casement windows so meals and drinks can be easily ferried out to the deck during gatherings.
Humphreys says the property is ready to move in as is. “Since you’ve got nothing to do here, you’re going to have lots of mates around to entertain in this nice, big open-plan living [and] the nice entertainer’s deck.” He recommends filling that double car with a car project to work on to keep you busy in lieu of jobs to do around the property.
The Leslie St house is in zone for Mt Albert Grammar, Edendale, Mt Albert School, Kowhai Intermediate and Auckland Girls Grammar and is to be auctioned on April 1.
