| Steve Wozniak Selling Home for $4.4 Million |
Roughly a decade after being credited with designing the world’s first home computer in Steve Jobs’ parents garage, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak helped design a home of his own.
Now, Wozniak’s Los Gatos, Calif., house is back on the real estate market.
Offered at an asking price of $4.395 million, Wozniak’s 7,500-square-foot modern creation features 6 bedrooms and 6 full bathrooms, and features views of the heavily wooded Los Gatos Mountains.
Now the chief scientist for Fusion-io, a computer software and hardware systems company, Wozniak’s pad underwent a major re-design in 2006. Still, many of the Apple legend’s post-modern design elements remain.
Despite the red-hot Silicon Valley real estate market, Wozniak’s home failed to sell when it was put on the market last February for a price of $5 million, Zillow said on its website. In September the price was lowered to a scant $4.5 million, but there were still no takers.
Built in 1986, the home is set on 1.19 acres, and also features an indoor kids’ play area, and an outdoor koi pond with a waterfall.
If living in house built by the man who designed the revolutionary Apple 1 and Apple II computers doesn’t seem as exciting as being in the great man’s presence, you can try and get a ticket to this year’s graduation ceremony at the University of California at Berkeley, where Woz is scheduled to deliver the commencement address.
