‘Sydney’s oldest’: historic art deco site for sale

The ground floor doctor’s surgery at 48 Macleay St, Potts Point is up for auction.

Here’s your chance to buy a popular local doctor’s surgery in Potts Point — and it’s in the ground floor of the charming Art Deco New York-style apartment building Kingsclere.

Designed by architects Halligan & Wilton and built in 1912, the historic site is considered the original “high-rise” residential building in Sydney and the first built in the Federation Free style that’s popular in the US but rarely seen here.

Unit 2/48 Macleay St, also known as Unit 2/1 Greenknowe Ave, has been Macleay St Medical Practice for more than 60 years, with four GPS, a psychologist, a registered nurse and pathology services.
