‘Super fan’ buying childhood home of rocker Tom Petty
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — A California real estate agent and self-proclaimed “super fan” says he’s extended an offer to buy the Florida home of rock legend Tom Petty.
Kevin Beauchamp tells The Gainesville Sun he quickly made an offer of $175,000 for the nearly 1,200-square-foot (111-sq. meter) home after seeing the home’s current owner Brandy Clark mention on a Petty Facebook fan club that she might sell it.
He says he has a contract for the home.
Petty grew up in Gainesville. He died of an accidental overdose in October 2017 at age 66.
