Former location –
Neil Young bought this house in 1968, shortly after the breakup of Buffalo Springfield. He soon started to work on his solo career and recorded his second album, After the Gold Rush, in a studio space in the basement of the house.
Rolling Stone Magazine ranked After the Gold Rush 74th on its list of the 500 greatest albums of all time
The 1,532-square-foot house has three bedrooms and three bathrooms and sits on a 6,000 square foot lot. Per the listing for the recent sale of the house (2020), Young’s onetime studio has been converted into a separate apartment.
