Kiss co-founder Gene Simmons<\/a> had a message for potential buyers of his Beverly Hills mansion: He didn’t want them to rock and roll all night and party every day.<\/p>\n

‘You have such wonderful times there, you don’t want some schmuck in the place you call home,’ Simmons, 75, in April told The Wall Street Journal<\/a> as he sought to sell the opulent Southern California<\/a> abode.<\/p>\n

Simmons, who played bass and shared vocals with Paul Stanley in the iconic band<\/a>, laid forth specific rules for the type of buyer he preferred to sell to.<\/p>\n

‘No drugs, no alcoholics,’ the Haifa, Israel-born musician said. ‘I don’t want anybody coming in there who is going to destroy the place.’<\/p>\n

The I Was Made For Lovin’ You artist – who performed in the famed group and merchandising juggernaut<\/a> with Stanley, Ace Frehley, and Peter Criss – was able to sell the abode for double the $14 million asking price, according to Realtor.com<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 7,741 square foot home has four bedrooms and five bathrooms, and was built in 2017.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Simmons was able to sell the Beverly Hills abode for double the $14 million asking price\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is located in the luxe Los Angeles enclave on a hill that provides views of neighboring areas such as Century City, Coldwater Canyon and the Pacific Ocean.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Simmons told WSJ he and his spouse Shannon Tweed Simmons had long resided in Beverly Hills.<\/p>\n

They picked up the pad home in 2021 amid a planned move to Las Vegas, as a way to maintain a presence in the City of Angels.<\/p>\n

But the Hide Your Heart artist and his wife found the desert heat of Las Vegas punishing<\/a>, and relocated back to the Beverly Hills home, putting the Sin City abode on the real estate market.<\/p>\n

Simmons told WSJ that ‘privacy, views and location near movie studios, business partners, and his children’ were all key factors in the selection of the Beverly Hills home.<\/p>\n

‘Family is forever,’ Simmons told WSJ of the home while it was on the market.<\/p>\n

The Forever artist continued, ‘You want someplace that can be your business center, close to everything that you need in L.A., but also a place where your kids want to come over and hang with you.’<\/p>\n

Simmons said he and Tweed will be residing in Malibu at a mansion they bought recently.<\/p>\n

‘I’m the most blessed human being on the planet,’ Simmons told WSJ. ‘These hard times, you don’t want to say I have too many houses, but we have too many properties.’<\/p>\n

Their real estate portfolio also includes an additional property in Malibu, a Whistler, Canada home, and homes resided in by their children, Simmons told WSJ.<\/p>\n

He said with the sale of the Beverly Hills home, he and Tweed will be traveling abroad to their other homes.<\/p>\n

‘Wherever wifey wants, certainly,’ the musician said. ‘Certainly, happy wife, happy life.’<\/p>\n

The listing was held by Compass agents Lisa Young, Kennon Earl and Thomas Davila.\u00a0<\/p>\n
