Do you have a desire to make it big in the music business? If so, this may be your opportunity of a lifetime. You can purchase a home in Illinois for approximately $1.5 million that comes complete with your own recording studio. Interested? Keep reading.
The lead Beach Boy himself, Brian Wilson, lived in this 6,500 square-foot home and recorded the popular album Imagination - complete with hit songs “Your Imagination” and “She Says that She Needs Me” – in his roomy, full-service, professional recording studio located conveniently in the home’s basement.
Plus, you would be living next to a music producer (Joe Thomas) that Brian apparently still visits on a semi-regularly basis. Who knows, living here may connect you immediately to people that may be able to provide you with your big break into the music business.
The home is not what you would imagine for someone like Brian, as it is rather bland with beige-colored walls; however, the house does have custom cherry wood and high ceilings that have a surplus of potential. One thing is certain—the true magic of this house lies within the basement complete with three recording rooms and the mixing room. If you purchase this home then you are definitely ready to record!
The home is currently being sold by a Russian investor that purchased the home from Brian in 2001. Currently, the home is being rented but that asking price of almost $1.5 million may be a bit flexible giving the current buyers’ market.
If you’re looking to strike it big in the music business and have a desire to live one hour from Chicago, then the former home of Brian Wilson maybe the perfect place to advance your musical career.
