Metallica Rocker's Mansion Shreds the Competition on This Week's Most Popular Homes
We had a rockin’ good time with the most popular homes on realtor.com® this week. A few familiar faces showed up, we made a couple of new acquaintances, and the list was topped by the magnificent mansion of a metal legend.
Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett‘s San Francisco estate shredded the competition this week, picking up three times as many clicks as the No. 2 home. Any preconceived notions you have about what a rock star’s home looks like can be cast overboard once you get a look at his estate overlooking the ocean.
The charming 1920s home has a gleaming kitchen, clean lines, and quirky vintage touches throughout. With all of that in one of the city’s most prestigious neighborhoods, you get a classic composition.
There were a few other mansions that piqued your interest this week. You clicked on Georgia’s most expensive home, the foreclosed Wrigley Mansion in Chicago, and the Florida spread of a former MLB All-Star.
There are also plenty of affordable options this week. So turn the music up and scroll down…
10. Undisclosed address, Atlanta, GA

7. 12219 Bolen Rd NE, Newark, OH
Price: $229,900
Why it’s here: Also in Ohio, this is the perfect opportunity for a buyer looking for a hobby farm, according to listing agent Jennifer Hardbarger. She told us people who’ve seen the 4-acre spread love the home’s recent renovations and the potential for the land. For those with an equine interest, she said the property is “horse ready” and could accommodate a number of ponies. Giddyup!

6. 367 Arbor Rd, Lancaster, PA
Price: $142,000
Why it’s here: This A-frame is the fixer-upper of the week. Built in 1976, the three-bedroom home looks aged, but we think a new coat of interior paint, window washing, and yard work will go a long way to bringing this distinctive dwelling back to life.
Lancaster, PA

5. 79 Ridge Dr, Naples, FL
Price: $2,795,000
Why it’s here: It’s John Kruk‘s Florida getaway! The former first baseman spent a dozen years working for ESPN as an analyst, but he left the network after the 2016 season. With a career change, the ex-jock is shuffling his real estate portfolio.
Naples, FL

4. 401 W Whitaker Blvd, Huntington, WV
Price: $149,900
Why it’s here: Last week’s first-place finisher slid three spots this week. The former hunting lodge racked up a ton of interest when it landed on the market thanks to its low, low price. After receiving multiple offers, the historic home is pending sale.
Huntington, WV

3. 1210 N 13th St, Waco, TX
Price: $99,900
Why it’s here: Co-listing agent Amy Fackrell was a bit surprised to hear this home was so popular. She told us it’s a government-owned home, and she hasn’t received more than a couple of phone calls on it. So it’s all a mystery! She did add the home is only 4 years old and it’s not really a prime flipping candidate, because it won’t require much work beyond the carpet and paint. So much for a chance to appear on “Fixer Upper“!

2. 811 W Whitton Ave, Phoenix, AZ
Price: $289,990
Why it’s here: You like us, you really like us! We featured this adorable home in our recent look at Mid-Century Modern homes available for under $300,000. Enough of you read the article, dug it, and clicked on the listings within to vault this desert beauty into the runner-up spot. The three-bedroom bargain has undergone a top-to-bottom renovation and the result is simply rad.

1. 308 Sea Cliff Ave, San Francisco, CA
Price: $14,000,000
Why it’s here: It’s the home of Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett. His magnificent mansion in the city’s Sea Cliff neighborhood generated three times as many clicks as our second-place finisher. It’s a worthy winner—as long as the sun is out. The neighborhood is often plagued by San Francisco’s infamous fog, which you’ll see no trace of in the stunning pics of the manse. Even if you do get fogged in, the home’s cozy vibe will make the cloudy days seem A-OK. Fade to black!
