METALLICA Guitarist's House Now 20 Percent Cheaper
METALLICA guitarist Kirk Hammett has yet to sell his Pacific Heights, California house more than a year and a half after he first put the home up for sale, according to a posting on Hammett's realtors' web site. The Georgian Mansion — whose asking price was lowered to $10.5 million from the original $12.5 million — boasts 9,519 square feet, nine bedrooms, seven full baths, three half baths, a library, and a "billiard/family room," and includes "a deep grassy garden and detached 2-car side-by-side garage." "The gated motor court affords ample off-street parking. Faithfully maintained and upgraded for more than a century, this property is among a select handful of timeless classics...at one of the City's very best locations."
