Want to live in a piece of hip-hop history? The childhood home of music superstar Post Malone has hit the market in Grapevine, Texas, offering fans a chance to walk the same hallways where the “Rockstar” singer once roamed.
Located at 1226 Eaton Lane, the modest 1,685-square-foot house is listed for $549,900 by Meyer Group Real Estate, as confirmed by local reports. The three-bedroom, two-bath property, built in 1987, has become something of an unexpected landmark for devoted fans of the chart-topping artist.
Current owners Darlene Cunningham and her family had no idea they were purchasing a piece of music history when they bought the home in 2019. “Our neighbors kept coming over and saying, ‘Do you know whose house you bought?’ We were like, ‘No,'” Cunningham told CBS Texas. Since learning of the connection, the family has experienced regular drive-bys and even received mail addressed to the musician.
From Ordinary Suburban Home to Fan Destination
The house itself has undergone significant renovations since Post Malone’s time there. It now features new energy-efficient triple-pane windows, an updated AC unit, a new water heater, and a renovated primary bathroom. Its bright red front door welcomes visitors into an open-concept layout that flows toward a private backyard complete with pool and deck, as noted by KRLD.
What makes the location particularly appealing? Beyond its celebrity connection, the property sits less than a mile from Grapevine’s charming Main Street, offering both historic appeal and convenient suburban living.
Born Austin Richard Post in Syracuse, New York in 1995, the future Grammy-nominated artist moved to Grapevine at age nine when his father, Rich Post, took a job with the Dallas Cowboys. It was in this very house that a young Post Malone first learned to play guitar at age 12, setting the foundation for his meteoric rise in music. After graduating from Grapevine High School in 2013, he would go on to become one of the most successful recording artists of his generation, while maintaining his Texas ties.
“Ain’t found nowhere like Dallas yeah / And I doubt I ever will it’s / All hat, no cattle,” he sings in his 2024 track “Back to Texas,” a nod to his formative years in the Lone Star State.
Preserving a Piece of Music History
The Cunningham family has embraced the home’s unique history during their ownership. “Even my little grandchildren will have said, ‘We get to sleep in Post Malone’s bedroom. They think that’s so cool,'” Darlene Cunningham shared in a video interview about the property.
Could the celebrity connection boost the asking price? While the listing officially identifies the property as “Post Malone’s childhood home,” real estate experts often debate the actual premium that celebrity provenance adds to a property’s value.
For superfans with half a million dollars to spare, however, the chance to shower where Post Malone once showered and to look out the same bedroom window that framed his teenage dreams might just be worth the investment – even if the only gold chains in the house now are the ones you bring yourself.
