John Mellencamp was born in a small town in Indiana, but he’s a big city slicker these days. Further evidence: His reported purchase of a live-work loft in Soho, the Real Deal reported.

The rock star plunked down $2.3 million for a two-bedroom, two-bath, full-floor unit on the ground floor of a historic, cast-iron building, according to a listing description.

The 1,800-square-foot white space is a hit. The layout features an open kitchen, living, and dining area, home office, and large work studio. There’s also a shared roof deck and access to basement storage.

Best of all, the space can be used as a live/work arrangement or as simply a cool place to crash in the city. The location is also totally rock star, right in the heart of Soho, convenient to luxury shops, art galleries, restaurants, and public transit.

Perhaps Mellencamp, 66, who released his most recent album in 2017, “Sad Clowns & Hillbillies,” wants to focus on his artistic side. The Grammy winner has also been a long-time painter, and this space includes plenty of room to stretch a canvas or two, and then even host an opening to showcase the work.

The singer’s heartland rock won him 10 hit singles in the 1980s, including “Jack and Diane,” “R.O.C.K in the USA,” and “Small Town.” He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008.
