Silverchair rocker Daniel Johns is set to make a huge profit on the very first home he purchased at the tender age of 17 for just $360,000.
The rocker has listed the Newcastle property for a whopping $3m.
Johns bought the house in 1996 shortly after his 17th birthday, after signing a three album deal with his band in 1994.
The four-bedroom, two-bathroom home is located in the beachside suburb of Merewether, over 2 hours north of Sydney.
It was the first investment property for Johns who splashed out $645,000 on another Merewether home a few months later.

In 2000, the singer paid $1.4 million on a five-bedroom Merewether home where he continues to reside.
Daniel’s Silverchair bandmates Ben Gillies and Chris Joannou recently revealed exactly how the iconic rock band ended.
Writing about Silverchair’s demise in their newly-released joint memoir, the pair claimed Daniel put them on an ’emotional rollercoaster’ by breaking up the band multiple times – only to then change his mind.
However, things finally came to an end then the trio performed at the Groovin’ The Moo music festival in 2010.

Gillies said he received a ‘confusing call’ from Johns shortly after the performance, saying the two words, ‘It’s inevitable’.
While Johns never explicitly said the band was breaking up, Gillies and Joannou were later informed by their manager it was over and that a press release announcing their ‘indefinite hiatus’ would be going out to the media.
‘We wanted to scream. It shouldn’t have ended like that,’ the pair wrote in their memoir.
‘Even if the three of us weren’t aligned on the way to go forward together, we deserved to go out in a way that celebrated our achievements as a band,’ they continued.
