The historic Manar building lured the big names even before former lord mayor of Sydney Lucy Turnbull was born there, such as Dame Nellie Melba, scholar Sir Mungo William MacCallum and former prime minister John “Black Jack” McEwen.

And soon Manar will welcome its most recent buyers, Manhattan couple-turned-Woollahra locals, artist Judy Garb Weiss and her recently minted husband Sam Weiss.
Judy has settled on the gutted penthouse for $13.46 million that was sold recently by Victoria and Andrew Isles, of the A. Royale & Co homewares distributor business.

The “blank canvas” last traded in 2009 for $2.25 million from former lawyer Russell Keddie, and now comes with approval for a redesign by Lawless & Meyerson and MHNDU architects, and will need to add a bathroom and kitchen.
The Weisses are cashed up for the purchase. Sam is the long-time chairman of ASX-listed circuit board software company Altium, which was sold to Japanese chipmaker Renesas in February for more than $9 billion.
Still in Potts Point, the terrace of architect Alexander Michael has finally settled after a two-year put-and-call option revealing a $9.75 million sale price to child psychiatrist Felicity Waters and her husband, Adamantem Capital managing director Richard Waters.

The house was originally listed for $15 million three years ago but never sold and in 2022 the listing was taken over by Raine & Horne’s mother and son team Jane and Samuel Schumann with a $10 million guide.
Michael and his late partner, acclaimed jeweller Tony White owned the terrace since 1978, having paid $85,000.
Hyams Beach’s cash buyer
TCI Renewables chairman Jim Cooney sold his Hyams Beach weekender for $6 million.
Emily Simpson, of the Fairfax media family and a former bra entrepreneur, has bought the Hyams Beach holiday home of multimillionaire yachtie and TCI Renewables chairman Jim Cooney.
Records show Simpson paid $6 million cash for the beachfront house, offering a decent return to Cooney given he bought it for $4 million in 2020.

It was listed late last year with $7 million hopes with Highland Property’s Bill Malouf and local agent Craig McIntosh, of The Holidays Collection.
Simpson, the granddaughter of media proprietor Sir Warwick Fairfax and founder of underwear company Full Bloom, drove the establishment of Sydney’s first public labyrinth, which opened a decade ago in Centennial Park.
Simpson’s purchase sets a high for Hyams Beach, topping the $4.8 million record set in 2018 by Sandy Jan, wife of foreign exchange dealer Tony Collick.
Still with Jan, she recently purchased a Southern Highlands escape known as Rangeview in Glenquarry for $5.55 million.
Cottage Point flip

When James Packer appointed Lawrence Myers last year as his new money guru, it clearly left Myers and his wife Sylvia less time to kick back at their Cottage Point weekender, prompting the Rose Bay-based couple to list it for sale.

The couple only owned it for three years, having purchased it for $4.25 million.
Sotheby’s Harriet France declined to reveal if the property scored more than its $6 million guide.
Settlement will reveal if it tops the Cottage Point high of $6.8 million set in 2021 by Temple & Webster chief Mark Coulter.
