Aussie actress Isla Fisher sells her luxury Sydney pad almost 30 years after purchasing it for $171,500 - amid divorce from Sacha Baron Cohen

As an ardent admirer of Isla Fisher, I can’t help but marvel at her remarkable journey from a 19-year-old Shannon Reed on Home and Away to a global movie star. Her two-bedroom apartment in Sydney’s Woollahra suburb, a humble abode she purchased back in 1995, is not just a property but a testament to her resilience and success.

In simple terms, Isla Fisher has made a satisfactory amount of money from selling her two-bedroom apartment located in Sydney’s picturesque Woollahra neighborhood.

48-year-old actress from The Wedding Crashers reportedly feels content following the successful completion of the sale, as the auction had to be called off last month.

In 1995, the Australian movie star bought an Art Deco apartment a year following her television debut as Shannon Reed on Home and Away, marking the start of her career.

She paid just $171,500 for her first piece of the Sydney property market, set on the edge of sprawling Centennial Park.

Initially, Isla put the property up for sale in September, pricing it at $1.1 million as a suggested figure. However, due to certain circumstances, she had to lower the price on two separate occasions.

According to Michael Minogue, the head of JK Agency, the planned auction was postponed because the market was experiencing some softness, and the price range was lowered in an attempt to stimulate greater interest.

After canceling the auction, the apartment’s estimated value dropped by $100,000 to $990,000, which is significant but not enough to reach its initial asking price of $1.1 million.

Ultimately, the dispute over the sale was resolved privately on October 22nd, with no specific details about the cost being disclosed.

The advertisement for the unit described it as having an atmosphere reminiscent of New York City’s style, boasting an exceptional blend of East Coast location and culture.

Offering tranquil park-adjacent living and a touch of urban sophistication, this property is bathed in abundant natural light, placing it just moments away from some of Sydney’s premier destinations.

Right opposite Centennial Park, you’ll find this freshly refurbished residence that offers unparalleled comfort and ease.

You can look forward to experiencing the ideal blend of urban and natural ambiance, whether you’re sipping your morning coffee at Woollahra Village or indulging in shopping at Bondi Junction.

Mingoue said that ‘Isla is happy’ with the sale result.

At just 19 years old, Isla was well on her path to achieving significant success as a familiar face in the Australian television and movie scene, having recently purchased her very first apartment.

In my own journey, I successfully navigated the challenges of our separation with Sacha Baron Cohen by ensuring we held onto our Sydney home, securing a modest victory along the way.

For several upcoming decades, during the production of movies such as “Wedding Crashers” and “Confessions of a Shopaholic”, the Sydney apartment served as an income-generating rental property.

The apartment boasts a quiet and elevated rear position in the building along with a ‘spacious’, updated kitchen, bathroom and a master bedroom with built-ins.

It was most recently listed for rent at $400-a-week in February 2021.

Living in her hometown Australia with her former British spouse named Sacha, Isla is said to be on the hunt for a new home in Hampstead, located in North London.

Reports indicate that Alison Boshoff from The Daily Mail was reportedly given a £13 million (approximately AUD$24 million) budget.

At present, the actress is stationed in the United Kingdom because she’s portraying a close friend of the female lead in the upcoming movie titled “Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy.

Sacha is believed to be in the process of buying a London house of his own.

In 2023, Isla and I, their devoted follower, chose to legally part ways, yet our bond as parents remains unchanged. We are privileged guardians to two cherished daughters and a loving son, whom we strive to shield from the glare of public attention.

The pair initially crossed paths in 2001 and officially became a married couple in 2010. However, their marriage didn’t last much longer following their move to Australia with their family.
