Property Details

A rare and extraordinary offering in the heart of Potts Point, this vast 307sqm penthouse in the historic 'Manar' estate stands as an incredible blank canvas of immense potential, complete with in-place DA-approved plans to create a world-class residence of stunning scale and luxury, plus private parking for 2 cars.

With soaring 3.5m ceilings, sweeping harbour views and expansive proportions, the approved DA by architect Tanya Hancock includes a private lift, lavish kitchen, stunning living areas, and luxury bedrooms including a master suite with large sun-drenched terrace with sweeping harbour views.
