Lisa Wilkinson and Peter FitzSimons list family's 122-year-old landmark home in Sydney's North for $23 million
Lisa Wilkinson and Peter FitzSimons have listed their long-time family home in Cremorne 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.
