Childhood home of Kurt Cobain is now cheaper than ever

One person’s shack is evidently another’s golden opportunity to own a discounted piece of rock ’n’ roll history. At least that’s the case in Aberdeen, Washington.

A couple of years back it was announced that the childhood home of Kurt Cobain was going on the market, the original 2013 listing coming with a hefty $500,000 price tag. Other houses on the same block in East Aberdeen typically fetch $40,000 to $60,000.

The property’s owner, Cobain’s mother, dropped the price by $100,000 this past spring, that doing little to spur interest. Now the 1.522 square foot property has been further discounted to $329,000.

The Aberdeen Reality Inc. listing describes the property as follows: “The childhood home of Kurt Cobain is being offered for sale. There are a number of exciting possibilities for this unique property, including moving the building and incorporating it into a larger institution or private collection.”

Of course, rather than starting up your own Kurt Cobain museum, you could also move in and then wallow in a deep depression while staring at four blank walls in the living room as In Utero infinitely repeats on the stereo. Kurt Cobain would probably find that funny, although not as funny as his childhood shitshack going for a price that brings to mind his song “Rape Me”.

For those with a bit of spare cash sitting around, here's a peek inside the house, which has been left largely untouched, right down to the Led Zeppelin and Iron Maiden stencils on the walls of Cobain's bedroom.
