TV presenter Tim Gilbert celebrates big treechange, selling La Perouse home
Having made the tree change to Dural acreage, Sky News presenter Tim Gilbert and his wife, physiotherapist and equine bodyworker Josie, are now selling their former home in Sydney’s coastal east.
They had called La Perouse home for around seven years before their move to acreage in the popular Hills District suburb.
It was Josie, who until last month was risk manager for the equine welfare program at Racing NSW, who posted the news of their auction listing to her Instagram.

“We are selling our beach house on Frenchman’s Bay, La Perouse. Fantastic views and so many great memories,” she posted.
McGrath Coogee agents Mark McPherson and Marnie Seinor have a $4m guide for its November 5 auction.
The living room opens to an alfresco balcony with views over the bay. It’s one of two outdoor spaces with views to the ocean from the elevated two-level home with basement parking for three.
The couple applied to extend the five bedroom Endeavour Ave home four years ago, but never got around to doing the works.
The sale comes with approval to add a bedroom, ensuite, basement retreat plus internal access from the garage.
The couple paid a savvy $1,595,000 in 2012 for the 2000-built La Perouse home, which had been on the market for nine months having originally had $2m price guidance.
“My wife Josie and my daughter Bridget are great lovers of horses and my two active boys Joey and Louis now have plenty of room to run around,” Gilbert said after the 2019 move when they sought $1750 a week tenants.
Prices recently hit $5m with a Jason Blake-designed home on Goorawahl Ave, bettering a $4.8m sale in March.
