For $14 Million You Can Rock n’ Roll All Night in Gene Simmons Beverly Hills Mansion

Looking at real estate in pricey cities is already an exercise in window shopping. When the home in question belongs to a celebrity, the already-impossible price tag tends to skyrocket. Still, it can be fun to see how your favorite icons live— and if you’re a music fan, it’s your turn.
Adding Quiz
Kiss’s Gene Simmons has put his mansion on the market. The rockstar’s $14 million dollar Beverly Hills abode is a great example of a stunning celebrity mansion; one that’s fun just to look at (even if it’s wildly out of your price range). But this particular manor comes with some intense restrictions. Realtor.com reports that Simmons has a list of criteria he is looking for in a prospective buyer beyond just having the finances available to make the purchase. So, if you’re in the market for a 7,740-square-foot Beverly Hills mansion, find out if you’d make the cut.
What Is the Mansion Like?
According to Realtor.com, Simmons’ mansion was designed by the Swiss architect Roger P. Kurath. The architect wanted to highlight the views of the nearby landscape- namely the mountains, valleys and the ocean. To do this, Kurath opted for “glass, steel, oak wood and concrete elements.” He also incorporated “solar-power for pool and radiant heated flooring, eco-materials and fire-resistant, waterproof triple-panel windows” into the build.
Lisa Young, the listing agent from Compass, told Realtor.com that the mansion also features five bathrooms, 12-foot ceilings, a gallery space, a home theater, a 40-foot glass-like infinity pool, a half wall containing a fire pit that separates the chef’s kitchen from the living room, a 1,800-square-foot outdoor space with a second fire pit, a grill, ample seating, drought-tolerant landscaping and bronze sculptures. Simmons told Young that the ocean views from the bedroom are one of his favorite things about the home.
Why Is Simmons So Strict About Prospective Buyers?
Realtor.com reports that Simmons gave an interview with the Wall Street Journal about his selection process. In that interview, he revealed that he doesn’t want the new owners to “soil the happy memories he and his family have made inside its walls.” To that effect, he elaborates on his criteria, explaining that they include “no drugs, no alcoholics. I don’t want anybody coming in there who is going to destroy the place.”
