The chicks would dig that sweet hideaway

It's beautiful red wood of some kind.

Yeah sounds like a good deal indeed.

Buy it Mutt and rent it out to me. lol

haha i'm getting evicted in a week from a house that is worth half that house. i'm the wrong guy to ask!

times are rough

i'm not getting evicted cuz i can't pay the rent - home owner wants to sell in the prime fall season and wants to fix it up now. lived in the house for 12 years and he never put a dime into it, i even replaced the central a/c myself. when he tries to sock me with any damage bills he's going to be shit out of luck.

Put some rocks in a sock and beat the fuck out of him if he tries to pull that shit!

At this point he's been dead 40 years and 20 other people have probably lived in it since.

The fact that it was owned by Jim Morrison at some point doesn't add any value.

If you look hard you might find his drug stash. LOL

$1.2 mil isn't the whole lot for a house like that, with a bit of history to it too.

:1orglaugh

So Graceland doesn't have value since Elvis has been dead for 33 years then?

That fire pit setup is pretty cool.

5k ft is a small lot, and living right on Laurel / Coldwater / Bev Glen etc sucks. You are sitting right ont top of crazy traffic with no front yard.

Cool piece of history, but a shitty place to live 2c

Looks like a cool pad.

with some negotiating could probably get it for under 1M, not a bad price :thumbsup

That's a completely different story. How many times has Graceland been sold and new families move in and out? And you can't even compare Jim Morrison to Elvis.

Neither the article or the listing say he actually owned the house either, but say he "dwelled there" or that it was "once occupied".

Just don't have a black light, or nobody will sleep in that house.

Back at the Roadhouse they got some bungalows
And that's for the people
Who like to go down slow

How many times has this house been sold in the last 40 years. You act as if you have inside info? How do you know Jim's family hasn't been holding on to this house? The article CLEARLY states it still has his furniture in it. Don't go off spouting about this house being sold numerous times and you don't even post one fucking link to prove that statement.

Considering that it was sold to the current owner in 2001 for just over $500k, I think it's safe to say his family doesn't own it. It's not difficult to check and see how often a property has been sold. And as I said, this one has been numerous times.

And yes, the article mentions the furniture...but the actual listing states the the house has custom made furniture, no mention of it being Jim Morrison's. Then LOOK AT THE FUCKING photos and see that it's not tacky shit from the 60's, but rather NEW CUSTOM SHIT.

As someone who spent years buying Rock and Roll memorabilia for the company with the world's largest collection and who's actually put his legs into Jim Morrison's famous leather pants, my opinion on the matter is a bit more valid than some racist douchebag on a message board. The same one who tried to equate Graceland to this little townhouse. :1orglaugh

A little bit more digging and there's no record of either Jim Morrison or his girlfriend Pamela ever owning this house.

This just reaks of shady sellers and real estate agents, just trying to boost the value of the house. It's a 2000 sq ft townhouse, with 2 beds and 1 bath that they want to profit $700k on. They'll say anything or add anything to the listing to make it just a little bit more desirable to potential buyers.

photo #2 caption

"The house is partly furnished with the rock star's own furniture, giving the place his signature Bohemian flare. Groupies and party supplies not included. "

Want to say more stupid shit dumbass?

I'm not racist dumbfuck. Ok lie some more. YOU are racist if anyone is. Now fuck off cuntrag. Don't start shit moron.

So because a caption on a on a news website says that's the case, that's the case?

Again, do a little deeper digging and you will see that the furniture in the house is not his. And it was custom designed for the house AFTER renovations. Yeah...did you know that this building was just a bunch of apartments before being renovated in the past 5 years?

Again, neither Jim Morrison nor anyone or business associated with him ever owned this house. He simply rented it. There's no debate there.

The sellers are looking for anything and everything to backup the outrageous price they're asking for the property. Anyone who can't see what's going on and that they're just trying to milk as much profit out of this as possible is an idiot. *ahem ahem*

PS. Your racist diatribes have been posted here and commented on by more than just myself.

Yeah, I was thinking that too. I'm gonna have to do up something like that at my place

Maybe Val Kilmer would want that.

yeah no doubt you are correct. Did you see the creepy agent pics on their site? EEK lol

There's probably and old chair or something that belonged to him. There is some cheesy old shower they remodeled over but left a secret door or something and some cheesy writing that is supposed to be his.

Growing up in LA I doubt this is the real deal by any means. I immediately recognized that house just from the pic, have driven by it hundreds of times at least. Yeah it is right across from the little store on Laurel Canyon right near the strip. An awesome place if you're doing the Hollywood thing and want to partyh, but most celebrities now wouldn't live there in such an exposed place in a busy intersection. They're definitely milking the Jim thing.

btw, I can only imagine how many places that wild party animal Jim lived in, in LA alone. Probably lots.
