A spectacular sub-penthouse in Sydney’s eastern suburbs once owned by superstar David Bowie has been sold for an eye-watering $8.8million.

Located atop in the prestigious Kincoppal building in Elizabeth Bay, the three-bedroom, two-bathroom pad boasts amazing waterfront views.

The new owner is art dealer David Savill, who snapped up the prestige property after it was on the market for only 14 days reports The Wentworth Courier.
