R.E.M.’s Mike Mills seeks $6.5 million for home overlooking the Hollywood Bowl

Abstract

R.E.M. bassist Mike Mills' house comes with unlimited concert tickets - kind of. The scenic estate, which Mills just listed for $6.5 million, offers a rare perk: It's one of only two homes that directly overlooks the Hollywood Bowl. It's a fitting residence for Mills, a multi-instrumentalist, singer and composer who co-founded the Georgia-based rock band in the 1980s. Other highlights include a 400-gallon aquarium in the living room, built-in pizza oven and stunning tile bathroom built over the course of two years that resembles Vincent Van Gogh's "Starry Night" painting. Perched on a half-acre hillside lot, the house spans three stories with four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms across nearly 4,000 square feet. Outside, three viewing decks overlook the neighboring concert venue. Born in Orange County, Mills co-founded R.E.M in the 1980s.
