by | Sep 10, 2023 | Engineer

At almost $4 million, this could be Australia's most magnificent single-bedroom apartment.
Sold on September 2, 84/3 Macquarie Street in Sydney has landmark views that few properties possess, and one bedroom, one bathroom and one car space to comprise the ultimate easy-to-care-for city pad.
Sold for $3,925,000, in the well-placed Bennelong building on the harbour, the home is elevated glamour with jaw-dropping views that people travel from all over the world to see, and will never be interrupted.
The apartment is on the books of agency Morton Circular Quay.
When entering the apartment, the buyer will find the stylish granite kitchen on the left and combined living and dining room unfolding beyond.
The full-height windows – to the balcony – are filled with glistening views; the handsome Sydney Harbour Bridge to the right and, to the left, Circular Quay's famous ferry wharf and CBD skycrapers.
The bedroom also connects to the deep balcony, on the eighth floor.

"The focal point of this elegant abode is the commanding view, showcasing the grandeur of the Harbour Bridge, the charm of Circular Quay, and the mesmerising city skyline."
Macquarie Street runs alongside the Royal Botanic Garden, and extends from the CBD to the water, wrapping around the Allen C Lewis Fountain, to drop visitors at the doorstep of the Sydney Opera House forecourt.

The building at 3 Macquarie Street is only a couple of doors down from Aria Restaurant, owned by celebrity chef Matt Moran and considered one of Australia's greatest dining experiences.

With a gun-barrel view of the bridge and Luna Park, from the living room, a surprise of the home at 96/3 Macquarie Street is the vista from bed – a full frontage spectacle of the Sydney Opera House.
