Daniel Radcliffe selling Toorak penthouse

The Toorak penthouse that cast a spell on Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe is now for sale.

The penthouse on the prestigious St Georges Road was purchased for Radcliffe by his parents in 2004 for $1.9 million, when he was 16 years old.

It now has price expectations around $2.5 million, selling through Marcus Chiminello and Nicole French of Marshall White.

The three bedroom apartment is one of two in its development, occupying the complex's entire upper level. The apartment is accessible by lift and has views of the city over the river.

The kitchen comes with a butler's pantry and the penthouse has two bathrooms.

Radcliffe's parents reportedly spotted the apartment while looking at Australian property on the internet in London. The home was transferred to Radcliffe when he was 18, in 2007.

It has not been rented out during the family's ownership.

Radcliffe rose to prominence starring as the title character in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone  in 2001 when he was 12 years old. He appeared in a further seven Harry Potter films based upon the book series by J.K. Rowling. After purchasing the Toorak apartment, Radcliffe shot the Rod Hardy-directed December Boys in Australia.

He has acted in various film and stage roles since, including a stint at age 17 in Peter Schaffer's Equus. In 2013, he appeared as poet Allen Ginsberg in Kill Your Darlings.

The expressions of interest campaign for the apartment at 98B St Georges Road closes on 10 March.
