Lisa Wilkinson<\/a> and her husband Peter FitzSimons<\/a> are chasing an eye-popping pay day, as they recently listed their Cremorne estate for $23 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The couple purchased the landmark Sydney<\/a> home, called Ingleneuk, for $2.95 million almost 30 years ago in 1998, after selling their Mosman home for $1.66 million.<\/p>\n

After raising their three\u2014now-adult\u2014children in the 1903-built abode, the pair are looking to downsize, reported the Australian Financial Review<\/a> on Friday.<\/p>\n

Prestige realtor Black Diamondz listed the property on their website, with agents Monika Tu and Jad Khattar handling the sale alongside Brad Pillinger of Pillinger.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ingleneuk boasts one of the largest landholdings on the north shore with more than 3,200 sqm, after Lisa, 65, and Peter, 64, restored the land to its original proportions.<\/p>\n

The property was subdivided decades before the media stars purchased it, but they later recombined the two adjoining lots for dual street frontage.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lisa Wilkinson, 65, and her husband Peter FitzSimons, 64, are chasing an eye-popping pay day, as they recently listed their Cremorne estate for $23 million\u00a0<\/p>\n

Notable architect Henry Wilshire, the son of Sydney’s second mayor, James Wilshire, first designed the home for merchant Charles Crossman.<\/p>\n

It has only been on the market three times, the first being in 1951, and the second in 1998 when Lisa and Peter first purchased it.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The mansion, in its original Edwardian condition, offers panoramic harbour and city views, and has retained all its remarkable features, including prominent eaves.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lisa hired heritage architect Clive Lucas to restore some details of the sprawling home, including its original fence-posts, fretwork and maid’s bell.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The next buyer will enjoy a sun-room, gourmet kitchen, library, multiple gas and wood fireplaces, lead-light doors, and ornate timber flooring.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A heated pool and pavilion surrounded with Will Dangar-designed manicured gardens are also included, as well as approved plans for a triple garage with a studio room.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lisa and Peter reportedly hosted several star-studded bashes at the expansive property, which also features a tennis court.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Their annual Australia Day party reportedly saw the likes of\u00a0Hugh Jackman, Nigella Lawson, Anthony Albanese, the late Sir Michael Parkinson, and Simon Baker.<\/p>\n

After raising their three\u2014now-adult\u2014children in the 1903-built abode, the pair are looking to downsize, reported the Australian Financial Review on Friday<\/p>\n

Tim Minchin, Mark Taylor, Matt Shirvington, Mark Bosnich, Brett Lee, Cooper Cronk, and Greg Alexander are also said to have attended gatherings on the property.<\/p>\n

It comes after Lisa landed a win in her court case against Channel Ten over the infamous\u00a0Bruce Lehrmann trial.<\/p>\n

Lisa was on two years of gardening leave to the tune of $1.7 million a year before her time at the network came to an end on New Year’s Eve when her contract expired.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She joined the network in 2018 after an infamous pay dispute at Nine when she discovered her Today co-host Karl Stefanovic was earning significantly more than her.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Everything was going well when she signed a new deal with Network Ten in 2021.<\/p>\n

But just a year later, she stepped down as host of The Project\u2014her sole on-air role\u2014citing the toll of ‘relentless, targeted’ media coverage.<\/p>\n

Despite her lengthy hiatus from the network, Lisa remained in the public eye through her role in a highly-publicised defamation trial.<\/p>\n

She was embroiled in a case with Lehrmann who sued Network Ten and Lisa over an interview with Brittany Higgins that was broadcast on The Project and online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In February, Network Ten agreed to pay $1.15 million to cover the costs Lisa incurred by retaining separate legal representation rather than using Ten’s lawyers.<\/p>\n

The figure was far below the initial $1.8 million Lisa said she had spent to successfully defend against Lehrmann’s defamation claim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lisa Wilkinson and her husband Peter FitzSimons are chasing an eye-popping pay day, as they recently listed their…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":70333,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[13394,32721,100,43,55416,44,55415,670,41,39,42,40,2017],"class_list":["post-70332","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-bruce-lehrmann","tag-channel-ten","tag-dailymail","tag-headlines","tag-lisa-wilkinson","tag-news","tag-peter-fitzsimons","tag-sydney","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories","tag-tvshowbiz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70332","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=70332"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70332\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/70333"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70332"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=70332"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=70332"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
