San Francisco Home Described As "Former 1960s Residence" Of JIMI HENDRIX Listed For $4 Million... But There's A Catch

It’s everything you could want in a San Francisco home: a towering property relative to its neighbors on Haight Street, with views of Sutro Tower and the downtown skyline, painted a distinctive shade of red, reports Garrett Leahy for The San Francisco Standard. It also happens to be Jimi Hendrix’s “former 1960s residence,” according to a listing posted Monday for 1524-1528 Haight St. It’s priced at just under $4 million. There’s just one catch - Hendrix likely never lived there.

“It’s a bunch of shit,” said Keith Dion, a self-identified Hendrix expert and professional musician. “I’m sort of annoyed they didn’t spell that out.”

But maybe the listing agent knows something Dion doesn’t? When The Standard called the Burlingame-based agency, Green Banker Realty, they were connected to real estate agent Mark Louie.

“I’m kinda everyone and no one,” Louie said, adding that he is not the listing agent on the property. “I do showings, other things.”

“They just call it the Jimi Hendrix house. There’s nothing definitive,” Louie said when asked for more information. “Nobody knows for sure.”
