Kurt Cobain and Courtney Loves crumbling house is for sale

Publish date: 2024-09-07

The house that Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love once lived in could be yours for less than a million dollars. The only thing is, it’s pretty much a representation of their tumultuous relationship. The Los Angeles 3 bedroom 3 bathroom home is 2,500-square-foot but is described in the listing as having “fallen into disrepair.” The home is listed at $998,000 and is “a major fixer,” that “will not qualify for traditional financing,” per Realtor.

The property is pretty legendary but will likely need structural repairs and system replacements like wiring, plumbing, a new roof, and even foundation work, per Realtor. Cara Ameer, a real estate agent with Coldwell Banker explained, “The word fixer-upper usually doesn’t mean cosmetic updates, so this property isn’t for the faint of heart.” Regardless of the work that needs to be done, the price is fairly reasonable. As noted by Realtor, its prime location in Hollywood Heights is coveted in the hills near the Hollywood Bowl. The late Nirvana frontman and Love were one of the most iconic celebrity couples in the late 90s and their relationship was controversial from the time it started up until and even after Cobain’s suicide. Take a look at the house and a look into rock and roll history.

The home features 1921 Craftsman with beautiful features like double-height ceilings and French doors. “If the floors can be salvaged, they should be sanded—and there’s some great vintage tile in one of the bathrooms that’s worth keeping,” said Ameer.

According to Sotheby’s International, listing agent, Tatiana Tensen Cobain wrote part of Nirvana’s last album, “In Utero,” in the home. Love was the founder of the band Hole and the agent noted that the drummer Patty Schemel lived with Cobain and Love for some time. In her documentary, she recalls Cobain writing and playing the album inside one of the closets.
