The heiress reputedly pocketed $30million in the sale after purchasing the five-bedroom spread back in 2019 for $16.75million.
Located in Darlinghurst, 2km from the CBD, the penthouse covers an entire floor of the prestigious Horizon building and features spectacular views of the city skyline.
Francesca first listed the luxury flat in November 2023 for an eye-watering $32million.
But after languishing on the market for seven months, the beautifully appointed apartment was re-listed in June for $30million.
The agent involved in the sale would not confirm the purchase, reported the Wentworth Courier on Thursday.
However, real estate insiders informed the publication that Francesca’s apartment recently went under the hammer to a local buyer for ‘close to’ the asking price.
According to the report, the cashed-up heiress sold off the pad because she wanted to spend more time in her alternate home base of London.
Meanwhile, the Daily Mail Australia understands that Francesca’s boyfriend Robert Bates, 44, had been occupying the flat while the heiress was vacationing overseas.
Designed by famed Australian-Austrian architect Harry Seidler, the apartment boasts five-bathrooms, Cote D’Azure marble.
A balcony that offers a 360-degree view of Sydney’s famed harbour.
Situated on the 40th floor of the luxury apartment block, the penthouse features a private lobby, marble sourced from Brazil, French Oak herringbone parquetry, bespoke lighting, as well as brass and leather accents.
There is a wine room and a ‘wet bar’, while the apartment building also contains a pool, tennis court, gym, barbecue area and landscaped gardens.
