POMPANO
BEACH, Fla., June 21,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Grace Slick's California Beach House
Where Real Estate Is Never Boring!
The queen of San Francisco's
music scene in the city's love-and-hippy days of the 1960s and
'70s, Grace Slick sang some of the
era's iconic songs, including "White Rabbit," "Somebody To Love,"
"We Built This City" and "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now." The former
model for I. Magnin, Grace switched careers in the mid '60s when
she became the lead singer-and-star for Jefferson Airplane and then
for Jefferson Starship. She sang on CBS's "The Smothers Brothers
Comedy Hour," performed at Monterey and Altamont Music Festivals, and
woke up the Woodstock crowd at 6 a.m.
("Now you're going to hear some morning-maniac music"), followed by
her amplified renditions of "Somebody To Love" and "White Rabbit."
Except for rare occasions, Grace retired from performing in the
early '90s, telling VH1 in 1998 that "All rock-and-rollers over the
age of 50 look stupid and should retire." Since she retired, Grace
has been writing and painting. Her art is displayed in some of the
best galleries in the United
States and sells for up to $10,000.
In 1970, Grace didn't venture far from her San Francisco music roots when she bought a
four-bedroom beach home in the small oceanfront town of
Bolinas – about 15 miles north of
San Francisco. Grace's former
beach house is for sale at $12.995
million.
Offering big beach and ocean views from Stinson Beach to San
Francisco, 400 feet of beachfront, and the seclusion of a
small beach town, the 1920's-era home was once a hotel, dance hall,
and casino that has been totally revamped and updated
but still retains the classic beach house feeling. The gated home
with over 4,000 square feet on 0.7 acres includes four bedrooms and
four baths, living room, game room, wood floors, a chef's kitchen,
white exposed beams, wood shingles, a fireplace, wrap-around ocean
views, and a large family room, which, according to the listing,
was the location of "the practice stage where members of Jefferson
Airplane, the Grateful Dead, and other legendary musicians crafted
songs and jammed late into the evening."
Outside the home is a wonderful, artsy entrance gate, a
guitar-shaped swimming pool that Grace designed in the 1970s,
manicured grounds, beautiful trees, a hot tub, and an outdoor
shower and patio. There are an abundance of decks, balconies,
terraces and patios to watch the waves, the surfers, and the
colorful sunsets.
Bolinas is one of those special
towns you sometimes find near major metropolitan centers that feel
much different than the big city. Towns that seem somewhat stuck in
the past, which make them a wonderful place to live or visit.
Bolinas is the oldest town in the
coastal part of Marin County, but
not well known to most San
Francisco visitors or even longtime San Franciscans. Which
could be due to Bolinas locals,
who have been known to remove road signs with highway directions to
their town. In addition to its vivid scenery, big beaches and surf,
Bolinas offers plenty of things to
do: visit the local galleries, check out the free Bolinas Art
Museum, people watching, colorful homes and unique
restaurants.
The home is listed with Kara Warrin and Paul Warrin of Golden
Gate Sotheby's International Realty.
