METALLICA Guitarist KIRK HAMMETT Knocks $3M Off Sea Cliff Mansion
December 11, 2017, 7 years ago
Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett’s sprawling four-bed, four-and-a-half-bath hideout at 308 Sea Cliff, listed again last week, this time asking $13 million for the circa 1922 abode, reports Curbed SF. It last sold for a frantic $5.7 million in 2005. (About $7.3 million after inflation.)
"That’s quite an appreciation in 12 years but, sad but true, it’s also $3 million less than the beyond magnetic property asked a year ago after a sequence of price cuts. Still, when you have at least even odds on an eight-figure home sale in the near future probably nothing else matters.
"Note that this place isn’t to be confused with neighbouring 320 Sea Cliff, also owned by Hammett, which asked $16 million last year. That home was also subjected to several price cuts over the last 12 months.
"Yes, such is the eight-time Grammy winner’s success that his pied-a-tierre from his Sea Cliff mansion is yet another Sea Cliff mansion on the same block, possibly resulting in whiplash for anyone trying to keep the two properties straight."
