Legendary entertainer Geraldine Doyle sells Newport home

Comedienne Geraldine Doyle and her musician husband Paddy Fitzpatrick have finally sold their long-held Newport home after being pulled from auction pre-Christmas.

Having hopes of $1.7 million plus, Stephanie Hammond of C21 The Property Partnerships secured a $1.8 million sale earlier this month.

Privately elevated on 1,611 sqm, the timber and rendered brick residence has a full length timber verandah which offers panoramic views over Pittwater's Crystal Bay.

The former Midday Show regulars bought the five bedroom home for $320,000 in 1990, the year Doyle published her tell-all book, You wouldn't read about it.

The many time Mo Awards winner grew up in a large Catholic family in Dublin before emigrating to Australia in the early 1970's.
