Lisa Wilkinson and Peter FitzSimons list family's 122-year-old landmark home in Sydney's North for $23 million
The pair have resided at the lower north shore home for almost 30 years after they purchased the landmark property in 1998 for $2.95 million.
Wilkinson and FitzSimons upsized and moved into Ingleneuk with their three children – Billi, Jake and Louis – when they were five, three and one.
The 122-year-old home is on the market for only its third time after being built in 1903.
The six-bedroom estate sits on more than 3200 square metres of land and offers panoramic views of the harbour and city skyline.
The property has since had two adjoining lots – previously subdivided off the estate decades earlier - return to its original proportions with dual street frontage.
The four-bathroom house was renovated by heritage architect Clive Lucas, who restored details of the elegant home, original fence posts, fretwork and maid's bell, while extending and modernising the property.
Inside, the listed $23 home includes a parents' retreat with sunroom and dressing room, gourmet kitchen, library, multiple gas and wood fireplaces, leadlight doors and ornate timber detailing.
The Edwardian home has since retained its original features, including large windows, prominent eaves and handcrafted details in natural materials.
You can find in the yard a heated pool and tennis court surrounded by well-crafted hedges designed by landscape architect Will Danger.
The listing will include approved plans of a triple garage with studio accommodation and a garden room, designed by architectural firm Lucas Stapleton Johnson.
From celebrities to sporting figures, Hugh Jackman, Nigella Lawson, Mike Cannon-Brookes, Tim Minchin, Simon Baker, Mark Taylor, Matt Shirvington, Mark Bosnich, Brett Lee, Cooper Cronk and Greg Alexander have visited the Cremorne estate.
The couple's home is being sold through Monika Tu of Black Diamondz and Brad Pillinger of Pillinger.
According to other media reports, the former Today show co-host and the former Wallaby-turned-author are ready to downsize after their three children moved out of home.
In addition to the couple's property being on the market, Wilkinson has stayed out of the spotlight following her departure from co-hosting Channel 10's now axed The Project and fighting Bruce Lehrmann's failed defamation case.
Meanwhile, FitzSimons regularly writes his column, The Fitz Files, for The Sydney Morning Herald.

Tom Sandovall stung by Simon Cowell's feedback
Tom Sandoval took Simon Cowell's criticism "to heart" on America's Got Talent. The reality TV star and his band, Tom Sandoval and The Most Extras, appear on the 20th season of the talent show, and Tom has admitted to feeling stung by Simon's criticism of his performance of Take On Me by a-ha. Tom told TODAY: "I could always be improving." Tom's performance actually received glowing feedback from all of the other judges, except Simon. The music mogul said at the time: "For me, the vocals weren't great, Tom. I'm going to be honest with you. "However, not everyone comes on this show to get a record deal. Sometimes, it's about being true to who you are." Despite this, Tom still loves singing Take On Me . He explained: "I remember when we first performed that song a couple of years back, we had to do it a half step lower, but eventually, I got comfortable enough with it where we put it back into its original key. "And to me, that song means a lot because it has history. I have an emotional connection to it, so being able to hit that high note was an example of overcoming a huge hurdle for me." Tom is refusing to get carried away on the show, insisting he won't look too far ahead. The TV star said: "We're just taking it one performance at a time. "I mean, there's still a long way to go with so many incredibly talented acts going up there. So to me, like I said before, winning it seems so far off to me." Tom previously acknowledged that he has a "slim" chance of winning America's Got Talent. Asked what winning the TV talent show would mean to him, Tom told E! News: "That would be crazy. "That would be so amazing. Obviously, there's such a slim chance because of so many great acts out there, but I would obviously be so happy for the band and for myself." Tom also admitted to feeling particularly nervous about Simon's feedback. Tom said: "He's a legend. I mean they all are, but he definitely has his reputation of being brutally honest."

Karl Stefanovic slams 'woke' and 'beige' Logie Awards as he calls for the return of 'drunken tomfoolery' at TV's night of nights - after his infamous 2009 Today hangover
Karl Stefanovic has slammed the 'woke' and "beige" Logie Awards as he called for the return of the rowdy atmosphere at TV's night of nights. The Today host, 50, who was famously feeling the after-effects of the 2009 awards on Nine's breakfast news programme, declared the Logies need to dial back the awareness and add in a good dose of tomfoolery. He made the observation at the 65th edition of the awards at Sydney's The Star last Sunday after years of being a favourite face at the event. 'They have got a bit woke, the Logies, haven't they?" he told the Herald Sun on the red carpet. 'Everyone is a bit conscious of doing the wrong thing, and that is TV in general. Stefanovic said although he loves the Logies, the night risks being too "beige", before calling for the return of "drunk biffo buffoonery". The TV presenter then implored other familiar faces of TV to loosen up, adding: "What is wrong with the world?" Karl won the coveted Gold Logie in 2011 when the long-running awards ceremony featured international artists Katy Perry and Maroon 5. Since then, the Seven Network and TV Week have shifted towards addressing gender imbalances and cultural diversity in nominations. Industry insiders are now doubtful the Logies could continue on the same trajectory and revealed this year's ceremony could possibly be the last. "It's just not viable anymore," a very high-level TV insider told Daily Mail. "No one wants to pay for it, no one's watching, and the people behind it are already looking for an exit. "You remember when the Logies had international stars, outrageous moments, drama?" The insider said the awards are now a far cry from those glory days, likening recent years' ceremonies to a "glorified promo reel for local TV". They said the Logies "rinse and repeat" the likes of Karl Stefanovic, Sonia Kruger, and Hamish Blake every year, with the audience bored and "tired". Seven took over the broadcasting rights of the Logies from the Nine Network in 2023, following Seven's last broadcast of the awards in 1995. The insider said Seven thought they were buying back a national treasure, but what they really got was a "very expensive nostalgia trip". Lynne McGranger won the Gold Logie at the awards last Sunday evening, marking a celebrated end to the 72-year-old's three-decade-long role playing Irene Roberts on the famed Australian soap Home and Away. Todd Woodbridge claimed the gong for Popular Presenter. Guy Montgomery won Best New Talent, and Magda Szubanski took home the Logie Hall of Fame.
