Karl Stefanovic has given his followers a sneak peak at his lavish $4.5million Sydney property renovation after his major win in court in March.
The Today show host, 49, who had a lengthy wrangle with Willoughby Council over plans to redevelop his modest home into a four-storey mansion, shared to Instagram a CGI mockup of how the completed property will look.
The design showed the finished property will feature a stunning contemporary design, spacious surroundings, French windows and an indoor circular staircase.
The property will also boast a stylish outdoor dining terrace with adjacent stairs and a host of gorgeous architectural touches including high ceilings and slanted windows.
It will also have a sprawling garden display across the length of the house and is the perfect place for Karl and his wife Jasmine Yarbrough, 40, to raise their four-year-old daughter Harper.

After a two-day hearing earlier this year the Land and Environment Court found in favour of the celebrity couple, reported the Daily Telegraph.
The decision came after Stefanovic first lodged a development application with the council in March 2023, for the Castlecrag property, in one of Sydney’s most sought after postcodes.
Neighbours responded to the DA with a series of concerns including overshadowing ‘loss of views’, and reflection from solar panels.

The Channel Nine Today star bought the 1960s brick-built home in March 2021 for $3.2 million.
The application revealed the couple’s plans to build a four-storey home on the site, including 102square metres of living space below ground level.
The DA claims ‘the living quality’ for the occupants will ‘improve’ under the plans, while the proposal aims to ‘enhance the streetscape and contribute positively to the locality’.
The celebrity couple’s legal team stated that the renovation ‘generally complied’ with the planning laws set out by Willoughby Council.
However, it did not comply with floor plan space ratio controls consistent with local planning regulations. This is where the ratio of a site’s floor area to the size of land that the building sits on.
The couple were locked in a lengthy wrangle with Willoughby Council over their plans to redevelop their modest home in Castlecrag into a four-storey mansion
