Sonia Kruger has sold her luxury Sydney mansion for a whopping $20million on Tuesday after listing it for sale in November with an $18.5million price guide. 

The 59-year-old and her TV executive partner Craig McPherson bought the beachside Mosman home for $6.5million in 2015.

Michael Coombs of Atlas handled the sale as he quietly took over the listing of the five-bedroom Balmoral Slopes home last year, reported realestate.com.au.

The property was set to go to auction on March 8, but Coombs was forced to postpone while he waited for his buyers to prepare. 

‘We had a number of buyers interested—things are taking a bit longer but we’re still getting the outcomes,’ he said at the time.

It’s understood the buyers were a local Mosman family.

It comes after Sonia and Craig listed the home for an eye-watering $18.5million in November.  

The Gold Logie winner renovated the five-bedroom, four-bathroom house shortly after purchasing it, and have now earned triple what they purchased it for.

The renovations, which were interrupted in 2020 by the COVID pandemic, included a large scale exterior rendering as well as a complete re-build of their third floor. 

The third floor now boasts a wrap around balcony, outdoor kitchen, dining table and lounge area.

Two smaller balconies and a stunning cathedral ceiling could originally be seen in the top level, but that was all knocked down to build their sleek new al-fresco space.

The home also includes a porch with an additional outdoor dining table and lounge on the ground floor terrace, which leads down to the family’s perfectly maintained lawn.

The lavish home also includes a wet-edge infinity pool, a studio, an internal lift, and private guest quarters.

Other highlights include a limestone kitchen with premium Miele induction appliances, and flexible spaces for a gym or media room.

The home also boasts views of Balmoral Beach, a triple garage, and a wine cellar. 

But the extensive renovation was not without its troubles for Sonia and partner Craig.

In May 2020, Craig told The Daily Telegraph he regretted starting the renovation but it was ‘too late to go back’.

‘Had [coronavirus] happened before we decided to go ahead… there’s no way we would have done it. It’s possibly the worst time to be doing anything like this,’ he said.

‘But we started the process six months ago and it’s too late to go back.’

It was previously estimated the huge renovation cost the couple $1million.
