Frances Bean Cobain Puts Her Vintage Hollywood Home on the Market for .7M

At 25, Frances Bean Cobain, the only daughter of rock legends Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, has an eye for real estate and design.

In 2011, while still a teenager, she purchased a lovely Spanish Colonial home in the Hollywood foothills for $1,825,000. Seven years later, she’s put the immaculately maintained home on the market for $2.7 million.

Rather than tarting it up as a slick modern rebuild, the young Cobain left many of the period details intact. Those details—including the hand-painted Spanish tiles, original hardware, wrought-iron railings, leaded-glass windows, hardwood flooring, and stenciled beams—harken back to 1930, when the home was built.

“She has a sense for what makes this home really special—what makes the house really sing,” says Agency co-founder Billy Rose, who is representing the property. “That, of course, is the remarkable period detail.”

The updates perfectly mesh with the home’s original style. The kitchen now has high-end Viking appliances, a farmhouse sink, and walk-in pantry, as well as open shelving and subway tile backsplash.

The 3,357-square-foot home has four bedrooms and 3.5 baths. The upstairs master suite has a dressing area, ample closet space, balcony, and en suite bathroom with gloriously original turquoise tile. Cobain was discerning enough not to mess with vintage perfection.

In a nod to the needs of a contemporary artist, she converted the detached garage into a “super cool and hip, sound-attenuated recording studio and screening room,” according to Rose.

Although there’s no pool (yet), there’s plenty of room for one on the 9,784-square-foot lot. Right now, there’s a tile patio with dining and lounging areas. Towering hedges were added for privacy.

Located near the popular Runyon Canyon hiking trail and Wattles Garden Park, the home is close to all that’s hip in Hollywood. It’s also a quick trip down Sunset Boulevard to Beverly Hills.

After a tumultuous childhood marked by custody battles, restraining orders, and the tragic death of her father, Cobain has found success as an artist and model. She appeared most recently in the Marc Jacobs spring/summer campaign.

Variety reports that she inherited 37% of her father’s estate, and that documents filed in connection to her 2017 divorce from musician Isaiah Silva reveal that she receives over $100,000 a month from his estate.
