A Los Angeles Condo for Sale Was Once a Recording Studio for Paul McCartney
It’s not often you can own a home where the likes of Paul McCartney and David Bowie have set foot, let alone one where they actually made music, all for a price tag of under a million dollars. But that’s exactly what you’ll get with a West Hollywood loft currently on the market for $999,999. In the condominium’s past life (in the 1970s) it was the location of Cherokee Studios, where Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, Tom Petty, David Bowie, Frank Sinatra, and more all recorded albums, and which Beatles producer George Martin dubbed the best studio in America.
Now an apartment complex called the Lofts at Cherokee Studios, the building has been transformed into a green living space with numerous high-end amenities and details. The listed unit in particular is a modern two-story condo with a giant open living space complete with 16-foot ceilings. The living and dining areas flow into the chef’s kitchen, which features a Caesarstone kitchen island, bar-style seating, a Bertazzoni oven, built-in microwave, and stainless-steel appliances. And the entire space opens on to a private balcony.
Elsewhere in the nearly 1,300-square-foot two-bed, two-bath abode you’ll find a bright master bedroom with high ceilings and a large bathroom, an upstairs office or sitting area, a laundry room, and an en suite guest bedroom. There’s also a roof deck with expansive city views, and the unit comes with two parking spots, which is certainly a bonus considering the home's proximity to some fun neighborhood hot spots.
Strangely enough, this isn't the first recording studio turned private home to hit the market this year. A Manhattan loft that was formerly the Duplex Sound, where Earth, Wind & Fire recorded, also hit the market recently. Though, it cost quite a bit more than the L.A. pad, with a $7 million price tag.
