The Whitlams’ frontman Tim Freedman lists lavish three-bedroom Sydney home in the inner west for $2M

Tim Freedman has put his Sydney terrace home up for sale with a guide price of $2 million after buying it 20 years ago.

The 59-year-old Whitlams frontman will continue to live in Newton in the city’s west, but has now decided to downsize.

With the property set to go up for auction on September 14, the musician has left the sale to the same man who first sold him the house: Michael Harris of Raine & Horne.

“Tim has lived on the west side of the city for a while. He even owned a house nearby when he bought this house and moved here,” said the selling agent and director.

“He loves this area… he’s going to stay here, he’s just going to move to a smaller place.”

The opulent two-storey house has an old-world feel and is built in a very traditional way. It has three bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs.

Meanwhile, the ground floor is set up for relaxation, with very large living spaces that take up the entire floor, including a kitchen and dining area.

This opens out onto the outside terrace and courtyard at the rear, with King Street just 240 metres away.

All the windows in the building are acoustically designed, which is ideal for musicians like Tim who don’t want to disturb their neighbours.

The listing agent said he has had a lot of interest since he put the property online last week, with 23 groups of people already visiting the property.

“It appeals to a wide range of people, including young families, people whose children have left home and families with teenagers,” Michael said.

Tim is an award-winning musician best known for his indie rock band The Whitlams, which formed in late 1992.

With hits such as Blow Up The Pokies, No Aphrodisiac and I Make Hamburgers, the group has won three ARIAs and been nominated several times.

The original line-up consisted of Andy Lewis on double bass and Stevie Plunder on guitar and lead vocals, alongside Tim who also played keyboards.

However, the group members have changed a number of times over the years, with Tim being the only face left from the original band.
