Twice KISS’d: Gene Simmons Just Relisted His Beverly Hills Mansion for $25 Million

The estate got a few upgrades over the winter months. “We didn’t want anyone to come in and complain,” Simmons tells. So they replaced some of the electrical, added a new roof system to prevent leaves from clogging the gutters, changed some remaining wood parts of the home to poured concrete and added more foliage. The five lead-lined safety rooms dotted throughout the house were also made more secure and easier for residents to access.

The home has four levels on one side and three on the other, meeting in the middle at the gorgeous great room with those tall windows on each side. On the lower level, there’s a six-car garage, a billiards room and a wine cellar, though the musician doesn’t drink. While one wing was used for meeting and his KISS museum memorabilia, he decided against building a music or recording room, instead opting to keep the place as an escape.

They bought the acreage from Irving Azoff, who went on to manage Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles. “The Eagles were put together on the property,” Simmons says. And before that, Nicholas Schenk, one of the original Hollywood moguls, used to keep his mistress at the estate.The Simmonses gradually renovated it and completed the build on the estate’s current house in 2000.

He’s already purchased a 12,000-square-foot home there with an indoor swimming pool with slides and is considering buying an adjacent 90-acre parcel. What’s with all the slides? “If you’re going to entertain, some folks want to sip coffee but others want to swing from the chandeliers,” he says. “A home shouldn’t just be a home, but a place where you have parties and enjoy yourself.”

Since he sold it last year, who's the new owner?

Man this is old. genesimmons sold that house - for $16 million - last October. In that time, he moved to Vegas, hated it, and has since moved back to Beverly Hills. should hire me to write some of this stuff...
