A mid-century modern house in View Park, originally purchased by Ike Turner in 1964 for $40,000 following a signing bonus from Sue Records, has sold for $870,000. Built in 1956, the home features distinctive era-appropriate details including multicolored tilework, flashy chandeliers, and patterned wallpaper. The property includes a rock wall fireplace with pond and waterfall, a wet bar with built-in fish tank, four bedrooms, 2.75 bathrooms, and a master suite with step-up bed platform. Outdoor amenities include a curvy swimming pool with concrete decking and a two-car garage. Ike and Tina Turner resided there for over a decade before selling after their divorce in the late 1970s. The property listed in September for $999,000 and sold within approximately two months.
"Built in 1956, the time-capsule-like house retains the spirit of the era with such details as multicolored tilework, flashy chandeliers and patterned wallpaper. In the family room, a rock wall fireplace is accompanied by a pond and waterfall feature, and the wet bar has a built-in fish tank."
"Ike Turner, who died in 2007 at 76, purchased the mid-century modern house in 1964 after receiving a $40,000 signing bonus from Juggy Murray, the head of Sue Records, according to the book 'Tina Turner: Break Every Rule.' He and Tina lived there for more than a decade before selling the property after their divorce in the late 1970s."
"The Turners formed the Ike & Tina Turner Review in 1960 and scored numerous hits in the years to follow, including 'Poor Fool,' 'It's Gonna Work Out Fine' and 'Nutbush City Limits.'"
