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.
