It originally had three bedrooms, but was converted into a one-bedroom apartment with a media room.
The sale was negotiated by Drew Davies of McGrath Estate Agents, who said the unit was snapped up by a buyer on his database before it could even make it to market.
“I had photos taken for this phenomenal home last Wednesday and it was sold by Friday morning before I could get it online!” Mr Davies said.

Records show the property sold for $2.3 million in 2015 when it was a three-bedroom, three-bathroom apartment.

“There are a lot of people buying high-end apartments who don’t necessarily need the extra bedrooms, but still want the extra space,” Mr Davies said.
“I have a list of about five to 10 people looking in a very high price range for high quality apartments.”
