Via the gossip watchers at ONTD comes this celebrity-owned beauty. This moody masterpiece belongs to Kirk Hammett, the guitarist for Metallica. The home, located in Pacific Heights is a Georgian home dating back to around 1899. This exquisite example of classic San Franciscan excess is located on a hill and offers privacy and a touch of mystery. The home's facade matches well with the interior's velvet and burgundy style. The home has large rooms with details of carved wood ceilings, wainscoting and French doors. Newer touches can be seen in the gleaming appliances and granite countertops in the kitchen. The master suite has views out to the Bay. Special rooms include a billiard room, bar and cigar/wine room and a music studio. The home is one of San Francisco's treasures and is listed at $12.5 million. After the jump, the perfect shade of rock star red.

Yeesh...looks like Shady Rest Funeral Home. Suppose that works for the Genre of Kirk, however....

Beautiful home. That's exactly how I'd decorate if I had more money and a house grand enough to get away with it without looking cheesy.

Nice home Kirk! Were you able to afford that after you got people to stop downloading your songs illegally?

Cool House! Lots of nooks and crannies to hide drugs in.

Did Lars ever get that golden unicorn statue that he was crying about in the South Park episode?

Wow! It cleaned up real nice, Kirk! How many Mexican scrub women did it take to get the smell out?

Just wondering, did you buy this house before or after you sold out? Did liveing here help you make crappy music and help you to screw over your fan base?

Some of you guys are just plain, ignorant, idiots. Explain to me exactly how Metallica "screwed over their fans". What...do they owe you something? Grow the f***k up!
I've been a fan since the day that I heard "Hit the Lights" on the Metal Massacre album and remain a fan to this day.
What a bunch of whiny-assed pansies!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ So kid, when was the first time you heard Metal Massacre? You kids pretending to be long time Metallica fans are just pathetic. Metallica sucks the balls of a goat.
Question for Kirk, did you and your gay houseboy do the decorating?

Beautiful house. But not like Kirk's music. There is nothing evil, simple end ordinary.

It is a Beautiful home! I think most just try to match up the Metallica look with what the home is supposed to look like.

Holy f**k.. Even if St. Anger may not be the best album in history, it's no reason for being dickheads. Metallica rules, an Kirk is a very skilled guitarist with a really nice house^^

This house has been on the market FOREVER. But you should check out 3701 Washington St in SF, listed my Decker Bullock...it is a much more impressive property, especially the exterior of the house

Kirk is not the one that has got the house like this, get angry to the politicians for the unsolved world problems.
Kirk and the other band members deserve everything they have got, they work hard like many others (like me).
...and do not be jealous, work hard and create your own world.

Nice diggs, not a big fan of the red ceiling in the kitchen but i guess you can't have it all.
Kirk's music is all right, i personally like the earlier stuff to the newer stuff, but the new stuff is not bad ether, just my tatse.

I wouldn't choose this house, but to each his own. House looks weird inside. Don't like the colors or the decorating. It might look better if I saw it in person. They usually do. I've seen a lot better.
