Freddie Mercury's iconic sanctuary in London, known as Garden Lodge, is now up for sale for the first time in nearly 50 years. The neo-Georgian brick home, located in the prestigious Kensington neighborhood, is being offered by Knight Frank for offers exceeding 30 million pounds ($38 million) in a private sale.

The Queen frontman purchased the property in 1980, the same year the band's album “The Game” achieved chart-topping success with hits like “Another One Bites the Dust” and “Crazy Little Thing Called Love.” Mercury reportedly paid cash for the house, which was originally listed for over 500,000 pounds.
