‘Smells like teen Kurt’: Cobain’s home for sale

This month marks the 20th anniversary of Nirvana’s final studio album, and fans aren’t just able to buy a new “super deluxe” boxset to celebrate the occasion. They can also buy the childhood home of late frontman Kurt Cobain, complete with his mattress.

Cobain’s mother, Wendy O’Connor, is putting the 1.5-storey bungalow two hours south-west of Seattle on the market this week.
