A mansion once owned by the late musician Tom Petty has hit the market with an asking price of $4.995 million.

The home is currently owned by Randy Spendlove, Paramount Pictures' head of Motion Picture Music, who, the Los Angeles Daily News reports, is selling the home due to a change in his "family dynamics."

Spendlove has owned the mansion for just a year. In 2015, the estate was foreclosed on by J.P. Morgan, then sold by the bank in 2017 for $2.575 million, the OC Register reports. Spendlove bought the home in October 2018.

The home was once owned by Petty, who died after suffering cardiac arrest in his Malibu home in 2017; his ex-wife Jane Benyo got the Encino, California, property in their 1996 divorce. Benyo then unsuccessfully tried to sell the home in 2013, a few years before it was foreclosed on.

The six-bedroom, ten-bathroom home is listed by Jade Mills and Tiffany Mills with Coldwell Banker, as well as Craig Knizek with The Agency.

Here's a look inside the massive property.

Tom Petty's former home totals 11,483 square feet, with six bedrooms and ten bathrooms. The Los Angeles Daily News reports that it was rebuilt after an arsonist set fire to it in 1987 and burned down almost the entire home.

Petty and his family were eating breakfast when the arsonist doused the home's wooden staircase in flammable liquid and set it on fire. Petty, his then-wife, and their 5-year-old daughter were uninjured, but a housekeeper suffered minor burns.
