Renowned heavy metal artist Marilyn Manson’s residence in Glendale, previously owned by songwriter Jeremy Ruzumna in California, proves that despite career setbacks, his financial portfolio remains robust.
Acquired for $2.2 million, this architectural gem became the subject of an intense bidding war before landing in Manson’s possession.
Originally built in the 1960s, the home has undergone multiple renovations while maintaining its mid-century essence, offering four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and 2,107 square feet of living space.
Situated on a 14,260-square-foot lot, the residence is enveloped by verdant surroundings, just moments away from Verdugo Park and within close proximity to Downtown Glendale.
