Bass player and lingual exhibitionist Gene Simmons put one of his Los Angeles residences behind him earlier this winter, accepting an offer of two million on the nose for the Hollywood Hills house he’d owned, according to public records, since 2013.

A not-bad resolution, as it happens; the selling price included a $1K premium over the last asking price the property had been listed with, and the house only spent a few months on the market when it was snapped up just before the end of the year.

The 2,350 sq. ft. house rises three levels above terra firma, and features mixed architecture that employs both modern and back-to-the-land inspiration from its late-1960s build era. The interiors show renovations—new floors stand out nicely—but are otherwise midcentury in spirit, with a freestanding fireplace standing sentry for the stubbornly hip style in the glassy corner living room.

The kitchen reveals a treat: an original hexagonal Saltillo floor. It needs some sprucing, but for god’s sake, new owners, leave it be, its stylish patina will only increase as this century progresses. The four bedrooms offer the clean lines of modern linearity, and some offer views.

The gem is of course the master, which features a polished floor, a nifty cushioned reading alcove surrounded by built-in bookshelves, and fold-away glass doors that bring the property’s fine views just a bit closer when they’re waiting in abeyance.
