METALLICA's Kirk Hammett Finally Finds Buyer For His Pacific Heights Home

Sfgate.com is reporting:
METALLICA's lead guitarist Kirk Hammett has been trying to shift his Pacific Heights house for, literally, years.
The home, at 2505 Divisadero St, has now snagged a purchaser, according to The Front Steps, and is being marked as "Sale Pending". The pad, which includes the requisite sound studio and party room, originally went on the market for $12.5 million but its latest asking price was $8,995,000.
The "weathered brick", 9,057 sq ft home has seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms and three half baths, and a two-car garage in the original carriage house. It was designed by architect Edgar Matthews in 1899 for Clinton Jones, general agent for the Rock Island Railway -- who no doubt would never have imagined a day his home would be inhabited by a thrash metal guitarist who collects cat and dog skulls in his spare time.
