Frances Cobain Eyes $6.5M Penthouse (PHOTOS)

Kurt Cobain's daughter Frances Bean recently toured a $6.5 million New York penthouse - also recently viewed by Marc Jacobs - without mom Courtney Love.

The NY Post reports:

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 did recently when she stopped by 115 Mercer St. to peruse its glassy duplex with 2,500 square feet of terraces.

She "seemed very sweet," a source said of the daughter of late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain. "She said that she was looking for her mother."

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.

According to streeteasy.com, the penthouse is a bargain as it recently had its price cut $505,000. The site also shows it's been on the market almost 2 years.

I can't imagine leaving a teenager to make a decision like that. Obviously a child, sans a childhood.

The young lady looks strong. I think she would do well on the Oregon Trail.

I hate the apartment. It is so sterile looking.

[piquet]

stay tuned...he­r mother will smear herself all over it eventually

Looks like a security nightmare, having lived in Manhattan. I'm sure they have the money for beefy bodyguards though. Also looks cold in the winter, hot in the summer.
Aspiring model? She's cute and famous but I hope she has someone better than Courtney to keep her from getting pulled off course.

That place is gorgeous.

[AgentMacGyver]

Check, check. Talent, check, check. Courtney's bankrupt.

frances, if it's true, don't be stupid. you can make anyplace look just like that if you try hard enough. Just get something without having to throw so much away that you can shape into whatever'll make you just as comfortable. If you want to justify it as a phase go ahead, live for today, but think about how unstable money is right now. it might be better to just be safe for awhile and see how things turn out. what if you need that money soon? how would it feel to know you could've gone with something that didn't end up making things harder down the line? you know what you're doing, your choices are your own, if it's for her, she should know better, but if it's for you, your friends'll love it no matter what you choose hope it works out either way tho

[ifihadahammer]

Wow, she's gorgeous, and 16 already!. And I feel old now.

[myleftfoot]

Poor girl.

[AndyDandy]

If you have 6 mil to spend on a apartment does a 500g price cut even matter? Rich ppl feel free to answer lol.

[jcwtts1]

yes

[jcwtts1]

according to my friends who bought one in Denzel's building two years ago, yeah, it really does.

K

[myleftfoot]

How do you think they got rich, by throwing it away?

[CaptainHowdy]

No... apparently the got it by begging taxpayers to give it to them.

Sigh...

[zorak1704]

For a girl who lost her father and has a mother with substance abuse issues, she looks like she is doing fine. More power to her.

[jcwtts1]

fine, you mean, like wandering NY looking for her mom.

[rini]

I really don't think she was looking for her mother. I think that she's looking for a house but her mother couldn't be there.

Can't say I'm sure, though.

[TheOldSchool]

That carpet has to go!

[whit4brains]

Wow. People t.rashing a 16 year-old girl who lost her father to s.uicide because she isn't rail thin. Nice.

[stefiz]

thank you!!

[kolorkin]

agreed. that was way out of line.

[lmvd3]

She actually looks great. Courtney, not so much.

[CaptainHowdy]

Aw... poor little girl.

[harriettubman]

We'll see the effects of her lack of parenting in a few years. Just watch.

[CaptainHowdy]

Yep.

[lucifersmile]

I cant believe anyone on HP would have the nerve to comment on the girl's shape. Gross.

[jcwtts1]

she is friggin 16, leave her alone.

[CaptainHowdy]

Yeah, let her and her 6 million dollar apartment alone. I mean it's not like hungry people can be fed with that money or anything.

What a sick country... especially with people like you living in it.
