Jet lead guitarist Mark Wilson has sold the house at 505 Brunswick St, Fitzroy North.
Australian rock’n’roll royalty, bassist Mark Wilson of the rock band Jet, has farewelled his Fitzroy North house to the tune of $1.81m.
Wilson has played in the music group alongside fellow members, brothers Nic and Chris Cester, and Cameron Muncey, for more than two decades.
Jet’s 2003 album Get Born hit number one in Australia and its single Are You Gonna Be My Girl reached the Australian and UK top 20 chart, plus the US top 30.

Jet’s musicians played together from 2002 to 2012 and then went their separate ways before reforming multiple times since including for Get Born’s 20th anniversary tour in 2023.
That same year, the band was inducted into the ARIA Hall Of Fame.
Wilson is also part of the Antipodean Rock Collective, alongside Kram from Spiderbait, Davey Lane from You Am I and Darren Middleton from Powderfinger, which has toured playing Beatles and Pink Floyd songs.
Wilson listed his shopfront terrace at 505 Brunswick St with a $1.7m-$1.8m range last month.
The circa-1891 home features a studio, garage and garden.

Jellis Craig Inner North partner and auctioneer Lee Muddle said two bidders competed for the home’s keys at a Saturday auction.
The house passed on a $1.795m bid, just shy of the reserve, before selling for $1.81m shortly after post-auction negotiations.
Mr Muddle said a couple who had been renting nearby were the residence’s proud new owners.
“It was pretty good value, it’s on Brunswick St, has three bedrooms, a space where you can work from home, a garage and it has been renovated,” Mr Muddle said.
“Mark put in the studio for producing music.”
The underbidder was a family bidding on behalf of their daughter.
Mr Muddle said a good crowd turned out to watch the house go under the hammer with the auction conducted in the abode’s garden.
