Tim Freedman has put his detached Sydney townhouse on the market with a guide price of $2 million after buying it 20 years ago.
The 59-year-old Whitlams leader will continue to live in Newton in the inner west but has now decided to move to a smaller home.
With the property going up for auction on September 14, the musician left the sale to the same men who first sold him the home: Michael Harris of Raine & Horne.
“Tim has been in the Inner West for a long time, in fact he owned a house nearby when he bought this one and moved in,” said the sales agent and director.
“He loves this area… he stays put, he just downsizes.”
The luxurious two-story home has an old-world feel with very traditional architecture, and features three bedrooms and a bathroom on the upper level.
Meanwhile, the ground floor has been built for entertaining, with very large living spaces occupying the entire level, including a kitchen and dining room.
This flows through to the outdoor terrace and courtyard to the rear, with King Street just 240 metres away.

All of the property’s windows are said to be acoustically designed, perfect for musicians like Tim who don’t want to disturb their neighbours.
The listing agent said he has received a lot of interest since posting the listing last week, with 23 groups already having toured the property.
“It appeals to a wide range of people, including young families, people without children at home and families with teenage children,” Michael said.

Tim is an award-winning musician best known for his indie rock band The Whitlams, which formed in late 1992.
With hits including Blow Up The Pokies, No Aphrodisiac and I Make Hamburgers, the group have won three ARIA Awards and been nominated several times.
The original line-up included Andy Lewis on upright bass and Stevie Plunder on guitar and lead vocals alongside Tim, who also played keyboards.
However, the group’s members have changed several times over the years, with Tim being the only remaining face from the original band.
