Dumped yellow Wiggle Sam Moran upgrades in Sydney, with not much wiggle room: Title Tattle
Dumped Wiggle Sam Moran is in the midst of upgrading Sydney abodes. Moran, the former yellow Wiggle, his wife, Lyn, and their daughter, Eloise, are moving into their newly acquired $955,000 Rozelle cottage in inner Sydney (pictured above).
It was bought last year at auction through Sarah Lorden Real Estate agent Lynsey Kemp and according to RP Data then briefly leased at $750 a week while the couple sought to sell their Pyrmont apartment (pictured below).

Earlier this month the sale of the Moran's two-bedroom, two-bathroom Paramount, Pyrmont apartment was recorded at the land titles office at a healthy $682,500. It cost $500,000 in 2007. The apartment walls were full of show business memorabilia including Jersey Boys posters.
Moran has overseen the recent minor renovation of the three-bedroom Rozelle cottage on a 272-square-metre block, which has been freshly painted and new carpet installed. It has three bedrooms and one bathroom and was marketed as offering “tremendous scope to refresh or renovate” and “currently in very liveable condition” with some retained period features. A formal lounge with slow combustion fireplace was the home’s focal point.
It was reported the auction of the freestanding weatherboard cottage attracted young families and older executives given with its character charm and good position.
But the home, which had been in the one family for 30 years, was built in 1880 and only partially updated 15 years ago.
