Wil Anderson has sold his former home at 143 Cruikshank Street, Port Melbourne.
Award-winning comedian Wil Anderson has sold his former Port Melbourne home complete with a studio above the garage where he recorded podcasts.
Anderson has been involved with a long list of TV panel-show hits from The Glass House to a current role hosting and producing ABCтАЩs Gruen, which is expected to return to TV later this year.
In his time at the property the comic co-hosted Triple MтАЩs breakfast radio show and used the studio to record podcasts with a litany of famous faces, including comedians Hamish Blake, Ross Noble and Em Rusciano, musician Clare Bowditch and radio host Christian OтАЩConnell.

Records show Anderson paid $2.926 million for the 143 Cruikshank St home in 2017, and he previously told the Herald Sun he had enjoyed many peaceful nights taking in MelbourneтАЩs CBD lights from the homeтАЩs rooftop deck.
He decided to sell, initially through comedians turned real estate agents Jodie J Hill and Fahey Younger, after relocating to Byron Bay with long-time partner Amy Williamson.
Greg Hocking took over the listing earlier this year, with the homeтАЩs asking price reined in from last yearтАЩs $2.9-$3.1 million range to $2.95 million.
The stylish home attracted a number of high-profile guests since Anderson bought it in 2017.

The home has an easy-care backyard.
It is understood to have sold very close to the revised figure, though is still under contract as a subject-to-finance clause is resolved.
Greg Hocking director Greg Hocking and listing agent Tony Gaudy said they couldnтАЩt comment on the vendor or sale price, but confirmed the property was under contract.
Mr Gaudry said the buyers, a young family looking for more space, had recently sold in Albert Park.
Mr Hocking said a number of interested parties had switched from looking at townhouses in nearby Albert Park to pursue the property.

тАЬThis one looked like good value in their eyes,тАЭ he said.
тАЬAnd the vendor is very satisfied with the result. He held out for a strong price for quite a few weeks and thatтАЩs what he got.тАЭ
He added that while FebruaryтАЩs snap lockdown had тАЬhardly left a dentтАЭ, the weekтАЩs extension to the current restrictions was тАЬcausing mayhemтАЭ for the areaтАЩs otherwise strong property market тАФ particularly among sellers forced to scrap auctions after weeks of advertising.
