Owned by the co-founder of an iconic '80s band, this versatile property features a professional music studio alongside private living quarters, all behind a gated entrance with a motor court that fits up to six vehicles. The ground level is purpose-built for creative production, featuring a formal lobby with a full bathroom and five thoughtfully designed studio spaces including live rooms, vocal booths, and a control room designed to meet the needs of musicians, producers, and content creators alike. Upstairs, the residential quarters include four bedrooms, an office, three bathrooms, and generous common areas, including a large living room, dining area, full kitchen, laundry room, and a private patio.
