Television presenter and journalist, Lisa Wilkinson and husband Peter FitzSimons have reportedly found their new home. According to the Australian Financial Review, the couple have purchased a penthouse apartment on Sydney’s Lower North Shore in Mosman for around $15 million to $16.5 million.
The news comes just a few days after the sale of their Cremorne property was confirmed. The couple sold their Cremorne home, where they raised their family, for around $23 million, after it was passed in at the initial auction.
It was reported that the couple, whose children have grown, were no longer in need of such a large estate and were ready to downsize. While their new penthouse apartment might be grander than most apartments, it’s certainly a downsize from their former 3214-square-metre estate.
The penthouse apartment is located on the top floor of a harbour view apartment block locally known as ‘The Castle.’ Positioned at the end of Mosman’s Curraghbeena Point, the apartment offers panoramic views of Sydney Harbour from its interiors and private rooftop terrace.
Inside, their apartment features an open-plan layout with a sunny kitchen and living area, four bedrooms with private balconies and a spacious media room. The exteriors are just as impressive; this building is made of heritage-protected sandstone and features a recognisable turret.
The building was originally built for the extended family of federal member of parliament Henry Hastings Willis, and over the years has been used as a private home, hotel, boarding house and artist community.
According to the AFR, Lisa and Peter purchased the home from Susan and Mark Luby, the former CEO of Alesco Corp. The Luby’s purchased the couple of 2.85 million in 2003.
