Kurt Cobain's Daughter Moving to SoHo?



Frances Bean Cobain with her mom, Courtney Love

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 just did. Not too shabby for the 16 year old daughter of the late Kurt Cobain and rocker mom, Courtney Love. The super sexy duplex is located at 115 Mercer St. and boasts having more than 2,500 square feet of terraces.

We tried to ascertain whether that meant the aspiring model was inspecting a possible home for Courtney Love, or that her mother is missing. Cobain's broker Adam Modlin of the Modlin Group had no comment, nor did listing broker Chris Poore of the Corcoran Group.

Here is how Corcoran lists the unit:

In the heart of SoHo on arguably the most exclusive cobblestone block, this sundrenched collector-quality penthouse is suitable only for the most discerning buyer. A private elevator opens directly onto the loft, from which sensual downtown views can be enjoyed along with an unrivaled 2,500sqft of terraces. A dramatic glass atrium rises through the center of this home with a glass-enclosed woodburning fireplace at the base. Exquisitely spacious terraces, which open East, West and South through sliding glass doors are an outdoor lover's delight - and are accessible from major room for formidable entertaining.

The top floor can function as a 3rd bedroom or media room complete with wet bar, en-suite bath and 1100 sqft private terrace. Thoughtful details such as radiant heated bathroom floors, built-in-storage space, wide plank white oak floors, high-speed internet, cable and phone wiring provide a customized touch. SoHo, a rigorously landmarked district which boasts the finest collection of historic cast-iron structures in the world, is known not only for its bohemian romance and artistic legacy, but its proximity to first-class galleries, luxury boutiques and the finest downtown brasseries such as Raouls, Balthazar and Cipriani. The building features a doorman, keyscan and video intercom for added security.
