Frances Bean Cobain’s in the Market for Some Real Estate
Thursday, December 18th, 2008Hey, if you’ve got the money, I suppose now’s the time to spend it on real estate — prices are low, right? Low like $6.5M, which is what Frances Bean Cobain’s looking to spend on a SoHo penthouse.
It’s not every day a 16-year-old shows up with a broker to check out a $6.5 million penthouse condo. But that’s what Frances Bean Cobain did recently when she stopped by 115 Mercer St. to peruse its glassy duplex with 2,500 square feet of terraces.
She “seemed very sweet,” a source said of the daughter of late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain. “She said that she was looking for her mother.”
The unit has three bedrooms, 3½ baths and a glass atrium. We’re told that a potential buyer of legal age, designer Marc Jacobs, has also seen the property.
When I was 16, my mom sent me on errands too. As soon as I got my drivers license, I had to do things like return the movies to Blockbuster, pick up milk, drop off the dry-cleaning, take the cat to the vet, and check out $7M pieces of Manhattan real estate. So annoying!
