Courtney Love Puts Mansion On Market

Rock singer Courtney Love has put her five-bedroom mansion on the market for $3 million.

An advertisement for the home - complete with a sketch of the exterior - first appeared in the local newspaper Sunday although the house had been up for sale since Thursday.

Bob Bennion, one of the real estate agents showing the property, said interest in the mansion has been “very strong.”

“I think everyone knows the house,” he said. “It’s not a secret.”

Love reportedly decided to sell because of countless fans who come to Viretta Park next to the mansion to pay homage to her late husband, grunge-era icon Kurt Cobain, who shot himself to death in the estate’s carriage house in April 1994.

“That’s really not a problem anymore,” Bennion said.

Love and Cobain, who was the lead singer of Nirvana, had bought the house three months before he committed suicide.

Built in 1902 with a Victorian design, the mansion sits on three-quarters of an acre of prime property in the exclusive Denny Blaine neighborhood here.

According to the ad, the house has been “meticulously restored to much of its original stature” and offers sweeping views of the Cascade mountain range and Lake Washington.

The house also has four renovated bathrooms, grand formal living and dining rooms, both outfitted with a fireplace, a family room, a state-of-the-art chef’s kitchen, and guest or nanny’s quarters.

The carriage house in which Cobain killed himself has been removed.

Love, who has a 4-year-old daughter, Frances Bean, has moved her belongings out of the Denny Blaine house and taken up residence in Los Angeles, Bennion said.

The lead singer of the band Hole, Love recently earned much critical acclaim in her acting debut in the movie “The People vs. Larry Flynt.”
