Trumpeter James Morrison lists The Eyrie on Bungan Head
The home of legendary jazz musician James Morrison has been listed for sale.
The Eyrie, an unusual sandstone five-bedroom house with tower on a 1665-square-metre block at Bungan Head last traded for $790,000 in 1994.
It comes with views of both Newport and Bungan beaches.
Its McGrath listing agent Geoff Grist is seeking $3.75 million-plus for The Eyrie, which has sweeping lawns, a 20-metre lap swimming pool, Balinese cabana, pizza oven and a guest cabin.
When it was bought in 1994 from Ross Barwick, Sir Garfield Barwick's son, it was being advertised as an "unfixable dump".
Title Tattle recalls when the house was auctioned it was hotly contested by the tenants of 14 years, Rodney Booth and Sue Cummings, but a determined Morrison paid $90,000 more than the reserve.
Morrison sold his other Newport home for $935,000.
