Realestate.com.au Head of Sales Tom Ainsworth said there were many homes listed for sale which had dedicated music rooms.
“Creativity happens when you feel comfortable and often this occurs in the home,’’ he said.
The drummer of longstanding Australian band Wolverines, John Clinton and his wife Kim are trying to sell off their Dural property in New South Wales which has a dedicated music room.
The couple are seeking offers over $2.495 million for the house which was a HIA award winner.
It has rooftop gardens plus a wet edge pool.
Clinton said they had recorded eight albums in the home music room.
“When I first moved in with my wife Kim, the rooms were all square. A drummer needs round rooms so I made sure they were by redesigning the house,’’ he said.
