Devoted Metallica fans now have the chance to acquire the ‘haunted’ dwelling where the legendary album ‘Kιll ‘Em All’ was conceived, as it has been listed on the market for $34M
Listing agent Tim Tompkins, representing Howard Hanna–Rochester Main, reveals the property’s intriguing past, stating, “The house stands on the very spot where Metallica recorded their debut album, ‘Kιll ‘Em All,’ back in 1983, when it was known as Music America Studios.”
The contemporary structure, spanning four stories and encompassing 10,175 square feet, was meticulously crafted by the current owner in 2010, following the demolition of the original studios acquired in 2008.
Priced at $3.4 million, this architectural gem boasts a blend of artistic allure and industrial chic. Tompkins elaborates, “Featuring four levels, numerous decks, and patios, including a rooftop sand beach, the home exudes aesthetic appeal with industrial-inspired finishes.”
Despite its expansive layout, the residence comprises only two bedrooms. Tompkins jests, “Designed for hosting soirées rather than overnight stays, it’s tailored for a couple who revel in entertaining guests.”
The property further impresses with dual kitchens—a main one on the lower level and a secondary setup upstairs—reflecting the owners’ culinary passion, complete with a dedicated room for meat curing.
The lower levels accommodate a spacious kitchen, dining area, wet bar, wine cellar, fitness zone, media room, and an adjoining private art gallery, ideal for hosting gatherings amidst captivating artworks.
Ascending to the upper levels reveals luxurious living spaces, two opulent bedroom suites, and outdoor access. Tompkins highlights the property’s prime location amidst Rochester’s cultural hub, with an array of upscale dining establishments and art galleries within strolling distance.
Considering its illustrious musical past, Tompkins suggests potential for commercial repurposing, envisioning business utilization on the lower floors coupled with residential quarters above, offering a tantalizing prоspect for prospective buyers.
