Lisa Wilkinson and her husband Peter FitzSimons are chasing an eye-popping pay day, as they recently listed their Cremorne estate for $23 million.
The couple purchased the landmark Sydney home, called Ingleneuk, for $2.95 million almost 30 years ago in 1998, after selling their Mosman home for $1.66 million.
After raising their three—now-adult—children in the 1903-built abode, the pair are looking to downsize, reported the Australian Financial Review on Friday.
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.
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.
The property was subdivided decades before the media stars purchased it, but they later recombined the two adjoining lots for dual street frontage.

Notable architect Henry Wilshire, the son of Sydney’s second mayor, James Wilshire, first designed the home for merchant Charles Crossman.
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.
The mansion, in its original Edwardian condition, offers panoramic harbour and city views, and has retained all its remarkable features, including prominent eaves.
Lisa hired heritage architect Clive Lucas to restore some details of the sprawling home, including its original fence-posts, fretwork and maid’s bell.
The next buyer will enjoy a sun-room, gourmet kitchen, library, multiple gas and wood fireplaces, lead-light doors, and ornate timber flooring.
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.
Lisa and Peter reportedly hosted several star-studded bashes at the expansive property, which also features a tennis court.
Their annual Australia Day party reportedly saw the likes of Hugh Jackman, Nigella Lawson, Anthony Albanese, the late Sir Michael Parkinson, and Simon Baker.

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.
It comes after Lisa landed a win in her court case against Channel Ten over the infamous Bruce Lehrmann trial.
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.
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.
Everything was going well when she signed a new deal with Network Ten in 2021.
But just a year later, she stepped down as host of The Project—her sole on-air role—citing the toll of ‘relentless, targeted’ media coverage.
Despite her lengthy hiatus from the network, Lisa remained in the public eye through her role in a highly-publicised defamation trial.
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.
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.
The figure was far below the initial $1.8 million Lisa said she had spent to successfully defend against Lehrmann’s defamation claim.
