See it: Lead guitarist of Kiss is selling this lake home

The Ventura County home of KISS lead guitarist Tommy Thayer, boasting unobstructed lake and mountain views, is on the market for $2.75 million, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Built in the Lake Sherwood community in 2005, the custom Mediterranean villa was remodeled and upgraded after Thayer purchased it for $1.8 million in 2008, the newspaper reported.

The 4,497-square-foot multilivel house is in a “truly sensational setting overlooking Lake Sherwood,” according to the listing. “Designed and built with the finest finishes blending true authentic charm and craftsmanship.”

With four bedrooms and five baths, the residence features six patios to take in the lake and mountains from the outside, and picture windows to allow for picturesque views from the inside. Other features include a outdoor courtyard with wood burning fireplace, a three-car attached garage, four and potential for dock rights.

Box beam ceilings are displayed in the family room. A loft room sits on the top floor.

In a gated community, the property rests on a third of an acre with lawn and manicured landscaping.

Thayer, 59, replaced Ace Frehley as the iconic rock band’s lead guitarist in 2002.

The listing agent is Jordan Cohem of RE/MAX One.
