Imagine Dragons' Bassist Ben McKee Lists Enchanting Oakland Hills Home for $1.3 Million Ahead of North American Tour
Ben McKee, the bassist for the Grammy-winning band Imagine Dragons, has recently listed his Oakland Hills home for $1.3 million. The 2,696-square-foot property at 6262 Virgo Road, which McKee bought for $1.15 million in 2014, is situated in Montclair Village, a neighborhood celebrated for its scenic hillside vistas and close-knit community atmosphere. As reported by the San Francisco Chronicle, this secluded retreat boasts three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and panoramic views of the San Francisco skyline.
"Life on Virgo Road has been filled with some pretty incredible memories," McKee said per the San Francisco Chronicle. Expansive upgrades were made to the residence, with nearly $1 million invested into renovations, including a chef's kitchen that has featured in McKee's own cooking shows. The musician noted how the home served as both a creative refuge to compose music and a venue for spirited game nights and dinner parties. Meanwhile, the Sacramento Bee highlighted the Tuscan-inspired kitchen and the intimate garden setting where McKee and his wife Mary held their wedding photo session.

McKee and his wife ensured that the home’s design facilitated a space for entertainment and relaxation with the addition of amenities such as two decks, air conditioning, and a hot tub. The property, which also features a primary bedroom loft-style suite adjacent to a patio and the hot tub, shapes a picturesque domestic backdrop ensconced amidst enchanting gardens, according to the listing emphasized by Sacramento Bee.

After a decade of ownership, McKee is set to reluctantly part with the property as he embarks on a North American tour with Imagine Dragons in support of their album “Loom.” "It is a very special place and I will never forget the time that we spent there," McKee told the San Francisco Chronicle. The home was listed with an open house scheduled for June 9, as the musician prepares to trade his serene hills retreat for a tour bus. Prospective buyers will have the opportunity to view the property from 2-4:30 p.m. that day.
