Positioned on the top floor of the iconic Macleay Street address “Franconia”, this magnificent North / East corner apartment offers sublime New York style living, with light filled interiors and a commanding outlook of the Harbour, Bridge, City Skyline, as well as an expansive outlook to the boats moored at Rushcutters Bay. The scale and proportion of this 2 bedroom property is extremely desirable; soaring patterned ceilings and deep, rich polished floors, speak both of a quality and an aesthetic highly prized in this location. At around 130m2, this converted 3 bedroom apartment is a luxurious size and allows residents to incorporate furnishings and artwork of any scale. The aspect of the property is ideal, with beautiful sunshine at all times of the day, while the corner position, allows for wonderful cross-ventilation and a breezy relaxed atmosphere.

The kitchen also, has a functional and modern design with Liebherr integrated refrigerator/freezer, glass splashbacks and timber bench-top. Quiet and private, the property will suit the most discerning owner-occupiers who value cosmopolitan and fashionable surroundings, and common areas which are faultless in their period detail. Rarely traded, this extremely tightly-held opportunity will live long in the memory, if missed.

“Franconia”, 123-125 Macleay Street dates from around 1930. Its spectacular, if squat, “Gothic” entry forms a theatrical incident on the street. The base of the building appears to be made from synthetic stone, a material that had originated in America in the last decades of the nineteenth century but was introduced into Australia only around 1927 or 1928. This is, therefore, a very early application of the material, especially for a tall apartment building. It is also quite rare.
