Jeff Buckley's Memphis Home Transformed into Airbnb

Jeff Buckley's former home in Memphis, Tennessee, is being remodeled and set to become an Airbnb, with plans for completion by November 2024. Purchased for $143,800 by Goode Development, the property had been vacant for about a year and has become a pilgrimage site for fans. Real estate agent David Lorrison aims to honor Buckley's memory with a tasteful tribute, avoiding a 'hipster's Graceland' vibe, and is considering period-appropriate furnishings despite the house being sparsely furnished during Buckley's time there. This project coincides with renewed interest in Buckley, marking the 30th anniversary of his iconic album, 'Grace.' Buckley tragically drowned in the Wolf River in 1997, and his legacy continues to inspire new generations of listeners. The transformation of his home reflects the ongoing cultural significance of his music, especially among younger audiences discovering him online.
