Masonic Hall sold again
The Swartz Family Company has sold the Woy Woy Masonic Hall for $780,000, according to Savilles real estate agent Mr Frank Scarf.
The property was originally sold to the owners of Deep Water Plaza in April last year for around $1million.
Mr Scarf said the sale of the property had attracted mostly local interest with a few bidders from Sydney.
The 942 square metre property was sold by public auction on October 13.
"Savilles was proud to offer this vacant commercial building for sale at a landmark location within the heart of Woy Woy's retail precinct," Mr Scarf said.
"The property comprises a two-storey heritage listed hall, a suitable retail commercial adaptive re-use subject to council approval such as a restaurant or professional office suite.
"Although heritage listed buildings do have restrictions to what can be done with them, this didn't seem to deter potential buyers."
