Gene Simmons has officially put his modern Beverly Hills mansion on the market for $14 million, after purchasing the property back in 2021.
The KISS singer — who recently broke his silence on charging fans $12,000 to be his assistant — has listed the house for $13.995 million with Lisa Young, Kennon Earl and Thomas Davila from Compass Real Estate on the listing, per TMZ.
Four years earlier, the 75-year-old rock star bought the 7,741 square foot estate for $10.5 million after returning to Los Angeles.
The bass player had previously bounced between LA and Las Vegas after deciding to leave the City of Angels in 2020, only to return a year later after realizing he wasn't a fan of Vegas' scorching heat.
His Beverly Hills Canyon home consists of four bedrooms and five bathrooms, and it also boasts an open floor plan.
The hillside space — which was designed by Swiss architect Design21 — offers stunning views of the nearby mountains and the scenic Pacific Ocean.
In the backyard is a 40-foot, solar-powered infinity pool which is directly next to a spacious wooden patio and outdoor sitting area that offers plenty of room for comfy couches, chairs and a fireplace.
Small palm trees are placed on either side of the pool and are brightened at night by colorful spotlights.
The mansion was built with glass, steel, oak and concrete, creating a modern threshold with plenty of windows that have fire resistant and waterproof treatments.
The floor-to-ceiling windows on the first level open up to allow access into the living room.
The open floor plan inside also leads into the expansive kitchen that has a long, rectangular island and up-to-date features and appliances.
Gene's home has heated flooring, and the second level offers a gallery space as well as a home movie theater.
The bedrooms also have large windows that allow plenty of natural sunlight to stream inside.
The front of the property is surrounded by a drought-tolerant, desert landscape as well as concrete walls for privacy that lead towards the driveway and garage.

A sidewalk path leads up to an artistically designed entrance, which is next to a smaller outdoor patio space.
Residents are able to fully take in the stunning views on the 1,800-square-foot deck.
In a statement to People, the singer and bassist of KISS opened up about the Beverly Hills mansion.
'My favorite part of the house is waking up in the morning in the upper bedroom, having coffee in bed and, on a clear day, being able to see all the way out to the ocean,' he expressed.
'And my other favorite time is sunset in the upper bedroom or downstairs barbecuing something outdoors. The views really are spectacular.'
One of the realtors on the listing, Lisa Young, stated that the estate is a 'Swiss architectural mastery' that was created with 'thoughtful details and a focus on longevity.'
Young added, 'The 40-foot glasslike infinity pool is a real showstopper, surrounded by lush, drought-tolerant landscaping, and the bold bronze geometric sculptures add a cool, artistic vibe to the outdoor space.
'It's the kind of property that's extremely rare and truly special — made even more iconic by having been home to a rock legend.'

Simmons purchased the home back in 2021 for $10.5 million after he moved back to L.A. from Las Vegas.
During a past interview with the Wall Street Journal in 2020, the music artist explained why he wanted to leave the state of California.
He explained, 'California and Beverly Hills have been treating folks that create jobs badly and the tax rates are unacceptable.
'I work hard and pay my taxes and I don't want to cry the Beverly Hills blues, but enough is enough.'
Gene made the comments when he listed another Beverly Hills mansion on the market for $22 million at the time.
The star's latest listing comes shortly after the KISS co-founder broke his silence on charging fans $12k to be his assistant.
He was slammed by some over the high cost of the package which is called 'The Ultimate Gene Simmons Experience.'
Many found it particularly galling that he would charge people or the privilege of serving him, even though he is reportedly worth $400 million.
He added, 'I decided, You know what, nobody's ever done it. Why not open the idea to be my personal roadie for the day?'
Some of the experiences in the package include meeting Gene and other KISS band members, receiving band apparel, enjoying a meal with Simmons, helping set up for the band ahead of a show, and also getting introduced on stage in front of the crowd.
The star told the New York Post: 'When I was a kid and went to see shows, I was always curious, "What's it like when they're in a hotel?"
'"What's it like when the stage is set up? What's it like being onstage when they're performing and seeing the audience from the stage?"'
