Lisa Wilkinson, Peter FitzSimons’ Sydney home for sale for $23m

TV heavyweight Lisa Wilkinson and journalist husband Peter FitzSimons have listed their home of nearly 30 years up for sale for about $23 million after making the decision to downsize.

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 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.
