Celebrity couple Lisa Wilkinson and Peter FitzSimons are making a bold move, downsizing from their grand family home to a luxurious penthouse in Sydney's Mosman neighborhood. But wait, there's a twist! This isn't your typical downsize; it's a multimillion-dollar affair that has the whole city talking.
The power couple, known for their media prowess, has reportedly purchased a four-bedroom penthouse, leaving behind their beloved Cremorne residence. The former Today show host, Lisa, and her Wallaby-turned-author husband, Peter, are now set to enjoy breathtaking views from their new top-floor apartment.
The penthouse, acquired in February, boasts a full-length rooftop with a price tag rumored to be in the mid-teen millions. And get this—the sandstone building, constructed in 1914, offers a unique blend of old-world charm and modern amenities. Imagine enjoying a rooftop teppanyaki barbecue or soaking in the tub with a panoramic view!
But here's where it gets controversial. The exact sale price is shrouded in mystery, leaving the public curious and eager for more details. The property was sold through a real estate agent, Bo Zhang, but the couple and their representatives remained tight-lipped about the transaction.
Previously, Wilkinson and FitzSimons sold their Cremorne mansion at a private auction, which failed to meet the reserve price of $24.5 million. However, they later found success with a private treaty sale in October, although the final sum remains undisclosed.
This new purchase marks a significant change for the couple, who have been residing in their previous home since 1998. The original residence, a landmark five-bedroom Federation-style property, was a true gem with panoramic harbor views. But it seems the media duo is ready for a new chapter, embracing a more low-maintenance lifestyle without compromising on luxury.
As the settlement date approaches, the exact details of this high-profile transaction will be unveiled, leaving many wondering about the final price and the couple's future plans. And this is the part most people miss—the story behind the downsize. What motivated this change? Only time will tell, and the public eagerly awaits the next chapter in the lives of these beloved celebrities.
