Jason Newsted Is Selling His House for $2.89 Million

Former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted is selling his home in Walnut Creek, CA for $2.89 million.

The official listing for the modern farmhouse reads as follows:

“THIS IS IT! Fabulous modern farmhouse in a premium location with views. Gorgeous custom updates including hardwood floors, designer fixtures, & custom moldings. The new gourmet kitchen features stunning Moroccan tile & high-end Elise appliances. This home features a formal living room, elegant dining room, spacious family room, & 1 bedroom suite downstairs. The master suite features a retreat with balcony, fireplace, & an updated bathroom featuring soaking tub, separate shower, dual sinks, & large walk-in closet. Two large secondary bedrooms on the second level with updated bath plus a huge third story bonus room. Mud room with laundry & half bath. The picturesque yard is an entertainer’s dream with patio, wrap-around porch, sprawling lawn area, and dog run. Studio above the detached 3 car garage & full basement (not included in sq ft). This amazing location has views of Mt. Diablo & is minutes from freeways, BART, & downtown. Plus award winning Walnut Creek schools. Welcome Home!”

It really says something about the New York City real estate market that I read all that and was like “Hey that’s pretty good for almost $3 million.” In Manhattan that much money would get you, like, a studio with a toilet kitchen. It’s also relatively cheap by Metallica standards: remember, Kirk Hammett was asking for $16 million for his San Francisco home.

Here’s a video of the house, so even if you can’t afford it, you can see where Jason Newsted lives (which has always been on your bucket list, right?):
