Fitzsimons, Wilkinson sell ‘$23m home’

With whispers they are off to a Mosman flat, downsizing celebrity media couple Lisa Wilkinson and Peter FitzSimons have finally sold their Cremorne trophy home.

Ingleneuk, a five-bedroom 1903 home, hit the market in August, with its auction held in September with no offers, just a $24.5m vendor bid.

They apparently have sold for less, despite the listing securing more than 45,000 page views on realestate.com.au, after it was listed for sale in August.

The Federation home was listed in August.

The media power couple have owned the home in lower north shore suburb of Cremorne since 1998 when they paid just under $3 million for the five-bedroom house overlooking the Harbour.

Known as Ingleneuk, the house was built in 1903 and is described in the listing as a “magnificent example of superbly preserved Federation architecture”.

A development application is currently in place for a new triple garage with interconnected studio accommodation and a new garden room.

It’s understood that the sprawling 3125 sqm estate had become surplus to the needs of the former Today show host and FitzSimons after their three children moved out.

The home dates back over 100 years.

It was passed in at auction after a $24.5m vendor bid.

It comes with an approved DA.

The impressive land size was the result of the couple adding two adjoining lots, which had been subdivided off the original 122-year-old estate – to return it to its original size and double street frontage.

The house has a full-sized floodlit tennis court, heated pool and spa, cabana with a wet bar and landscaped grounds.

It was listed with BlackDiamondz agents Moniku Tu and Jad Khattar and veteran agent Brad Pillinger.

A range of personalities have been reported to have visited the estate of the years, including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, actor Simon Baker, Hugh Jackman and celebrity chef Nigella Lawson.
