The Cremorne harbourfront residence intended by Karl Stefanovic and Cassandra Thorburn as their dream home has been officially offered for sale.
The listing comes six days after The Sunday Telegraph revealed the home was being prepped for spring listing.
Offers are being sought at $9 million plus for the austere ultra-contemporary three storey residence.
The Sunday Telegraph’s Sydney Confidential reported the warring couple will split any profit.
The listing offers few familial insights, although there’s a personalised cushion on the family room couch with a pug, possibly Ponyo which Thorburn and the children purchased as a puppy when Karl moved out.
There appear to be only a few pieces of furniture kept from the couple’s Lindfield days, including a set of table lamps and bright yellow cushions on the balcony seating.
The Cremorne property is officially held in the name of Thorburn after their split almost three years ago.

There are balconies totalling 150sq m that look over boats towards Folly Point at Cammeray.
The floor plan is revealed as including five bedrooms, with formal and informal living areas and a huge fireplace.

The couple never got to complete construction of its jetty.
After laying down an $800,000 deposit, there was an 18-month build after which Thorburn and the couple’s three kids finally moved in 2017, by which time Stefanovic was ensconced in a nearby home with shoe designer, Jasmine Yarbrough.
Thorburn, who has dabbled in television appearances, was a journalist and has turned to being a children’s author have published her co-authored book, called Leo Lion’s Big Bed! in 2018.
Karl Stefanovic will join 2GB Radio as a regular contributor to the Steve Price afternoon program, marking a step in his Nine Entertainment media comeback after the former Today host was axed last year by his Channel 9 bosses.
The Nine Network dumped Stefanovic from its breakfast program after 15 years, following falling ratings accompanied by unrelenting coverage of his personal life after his marriage of 21 years ended.
Stefanovic and Yarbrough wed in a lavish Mexican four-day celebration last December.
The Cremorne record sits at $18.8 million for a five-level mansion.
The home has been marketed by the Di Jones agency as “an exceptional lifestyle opportunity”.
The developer Tony Blanche has retained the non-waterfront residence above the Thorburn harbourside listing.
