147 Manilla Street, Manilla, NSW 2346

Some​ ​properties​ ​offer​ ​space.​ ​Others​ ​carry​ ​a​ ​story,​ ​a​ ​presence​ ​and​ ​a​ ​place​ ​in​ ​local​ ​history.

147​ ​Manilla​ ​Street​ ​is​ ​one​ ​of​ ​those​ ​rare​ ​offerings.​ ​Once​ ​home​ ​to​ ​the​ ​Bank​ ​of​ ​NSW,​ ​this​ ​landmark​ ​building​ ​stands​ ​proudly​ ​in​ ​the​ ​heart​ ​of​ ​Manilla,​ ​offering​ ​a​ ​unique​ ​combination​ ​of​ ​history,​ ​scale,​ ​dual-residence​ ​flexibility​ ​and​ ​future​ ​potential.

Its​ ​character​ ​is​ ​immediate.​ ​The​ ​original​ ​bank​ ​façade,​ ​arched​ ​verandahs,​ ​high​ ​decorative​ ​ceilings,​ ​polished​ ​timber​ ​floors,​ ​exposed​ ​brickwork,​ ​wide​ ​skirting​ ​boards,​ ​fireplaces​ ​and​ ​original​ ​bank​ ​vault​ ​all​ ​speak​ ​to​ ​the​ ​building’s​ ​former​ ​life​ ​and​ ​the​ ​craftsmanship​ ​of​ ​its​ ​era.​ ​These​ ​are​ ​details​ ​that​ ​cannot​ ​be​ ​easily​ ​recreated,​ ​giving​ ​the​ ​property​ ​a​ ​presence​ ​that​ ​sets​ ​it​ ​apart​ ​from​ ​a​ ​standard​ ​residential​ ​offering.

Today,​ ​the​ ​building​ ​has​ ​been​ ​adapted​ ​into​ ​a​ ​flexible​ ​dual-residence​ ​holding.​ ​The​ ​former​ ​bank​ ​frontage​ ​now​ ​provides​ ​a​ ​self-contained​ ​one-bedroom​ ​residence,​ ​while​ ​the​ ​main​ ​residence​ ​offers​ ​generous​ ​accommodation,​ ​multiple​ ​living​ ​spaces​ ​and​ ​excellent​ ​separation.​ ​The​ ​layout​ ​can​ ​support​ ​a​ ​range​ ​of​ ​living​ ​arrangements,​ ​from​ ​extended​ ​family​ ​and​ ​guest​ ​accommodation​ ​through​ ​to​ ​creative,​ ​professional​ ​or​ ​short-stay​ ​possibilities,​ ​subject​ ​to​ ​council​ ​approval​ ​and​ ​purchaser​ ​due​ ​diligence.

Set​ ​on​ ​a​ ​substantial​ ​town-centre​ ​parcel,​ ​the​ ​property​ ​also​ ​offers​ ​rear​ ​access,​ ​garage​ ​space,​ ​shedding,​ ​storage​ ​and​ ​private​ ​outdoor​ ​areas.​ ​It​ ​has​ ​the​ ​practical​ ​elements​ ​buyers​ ​need,​ ​while​ ​still​ ​retaining​ ​the​ ​rare​ ​character​ ​and​ ​identity​ ​that​ ​make​ ​it​ ​genuinely​ ​memorable.

With​ ​MU1​ ​Mixed​ ​Use​ ​zoning,​ ​a​ ​flexible​ ​floorplan​ ​and​ ​a​ ​history​ ​that​ ​gives​ ​the​ ​property​ ​real​ ​distinction,​ ​147​ ​Manilla​ ​Street​ ​is​ ​not​ ​simply​ ​a​ ​large​ ​home.​ ​It​ ​is​ ​a​ ​chance​ ​to​ ​secure​ ​a​ ​local​ ​landmark​ ​and​ ​continue​ ​its​ ​next​ ​chapter.
