Once You've Seen Kirk Hammett's San Francisco Home, Nothing Else Matters

Kirk-Hammett

He’s all metal riffs onstage, but at home, Metallica’s lead guitarist and songwriter Kirk Hammett is all about luxury living. But don’t take our word for it: The 54-year-old rocker listed his grand neoclassical estate in San Francisco for a head-banging $16 million.

Built in 1922 above the Pacific Ocean, this home offers 4,180 square feet of living space and unobstructed ocean views.

In contrast to the lyrics of “Enter Sandman,” there’s no reason for any light to exit this airy home featuring picture windows overlooking China Beach.

However, you’re sure to be tucked in and free from sin in any of its four bedrooms—and remain safe, too. A privacy wall encloses the property’s 6,760-square-foot lot. Details like the living room’s original fireplace and crown moldings, combined with a custom ironwork front door, create a pretty “metal” mix of old-world and modern-day architecture.
