Built in 1896, the beautiful Federation-style sprawl is just 5 miles from the CBD and features a studio, swimming pool and tennis court.
Filled with 19th century charm, the expansive home has been beautifully maintained and features spacious living areas, including a formal dining room.
Shirvington, 44, first bought the 1,334-square-foot property in 2017 for $7.5 million after selling another Mosman Federation home in 2016 for $4.15 million.
Highlights of the beautiful layout include a beautifully appointed kitchen with a walk-in pantry and a secluded patio perfect for outdoor entertaining.

There is also separate guest accommodation which comes with its own kitchen.
It comes after Shirvington is expected to replace David ‘Kochie’ Koch as host of Sunrise when the veteran broadcaster retires at the end of 2024.
The sportscaster is Channel Seven’s top choice to succeed Koch, 66, who plans to retire after signing a contract extension last month.

Shirvington took over as co-anchor six weeks ago when Koch was on leave, and network executives were said to have been impressed by his natural presenting skills.
The fan favorite already co-hosts Sunrise on Fridays, with The Australian Media Journal reporting senior management seeks to make the role permanent.
Koch’s departure will be gradual, as he will reduce the number of his days on the air over the next two years until his contract expires.
