Cate Blanchett gives rare glimpse inside $12 million Sydney home

Australian actress Cate Blanchett and her husband Andrew Upton have listed their Sydney home for an eye watering $12 million.

Blanchett, who is notoriously known for keeping her life private, has given fans a rare glimpse into her luxurious five-bedroom apartment in the heart of the CBD.

She purchased the property for $8 million in 2015.

According to The Daily Telegraph, the home has attracted considerable interest online.

It has been viewed more than 3,000 times since it was listed 12 days ago.

The two-storey apartment is listed in the Astor building of Sydney and offers unbelievable panoramic views of some of the city's most famous landmarks, including Sydney Harbour, the Opera House and the Royal Botanic Garden.

The first floor boasts a gorgeous open plan living, including a lounge, a generous kitchen and dining area, and two bedrooms.

The kitchen is simply a chef’s delight with stainless steel appliances, and gives plenty of storage options.

High ceilings with deep stylish black windows flood the interior with natural light.

The property previously belonged to Barry Humphries, who was better known by his comedic alter ego Dame Edna.

He infamously and illegally combined three units in the historic building 35 years ago.

Cate and Andrew, 53, bought the apartment from businessman Mark Bouris, the former host of The Apprentice Australia.

It seems the pair are getting rid of all their Australian properties, after selling their Berlera Creek holiday home in December.

Cate and Andrew are now living in England, where they own a $5.7 million manor called Highwell House in East Sussex.

The pair wed in 1997 and share sons Dashiell, 17, Roman, 15, and Ignatius, 11, and daughter Edith, five.
