Hollywood-style Castle Cove mansion set to rival Lisa Wilkinson’s bumper home sale

1 month ago 13

Media power couple Lisa Wilkinson and husband Peter Fitzsimon could see the landmark sale of their lower north shore home soon matched or even eclipsed by some Hollywood-style dazzle in nearby Castle Cove.

Wilkinson recently sold her home in Cremorne Point for an undisclosed price reported to be close to the $23m price guide - one of the highest prices ever paid on the lower north shore - but this could be matched by a newly listed property in Castle Cove.

What looks like a home straight out of a Hollywood movie, the property at 47-49 Neerim Rd has hit the market as one of the most distinct homes on the north shore.

The seven bedroom, 10-bathroom and six-car space residence was designed by Swiss-trained architect Gerry Rihs. It was built over a decade and recently renovated.

The commanding residence spans 2553 sqm across a waterfront parcel that captures sweeping north-easterly vistas across Middle Harbour and surrounding bushland.

Listing agency BresicWhitney has not released a price guide, but the property could sell for about $23 million, according to Nine media.

The online listing describes the interiors as “bathed in natural light through oversized glazing and a cathedral glass dome”.

Other features listed included its marble-detialed foyer along with multiple formal and informal living areas.
