A Sherman Oaks home owned by Ray Toro, the lead guitarist of My Chemical Romance, is on the market for $2.789 million.
Built in 1942 and later updated, the 2,918-square-foot farmhouse-style residence includes a separate guest house in the backyard for a total of four bedrooms and bathrooms. Toro and his wife, Christa, bought the house on a third-acre hillside lot in November 2011 for $1.145 million, records viewed on PropertyShark.com show.
From the street, a gate opens to a stone staircase that descends to the house. The listing notes a hillside tram that’s not in use.
Inside the house, the living room has a vaulted ceiling, supported by wood beams, hand-pegged wood floors, a stone fireplace and built-in bookcases. Natural light floods the adjoining family room through two large picture windows with a long built-in bench.
The kitchen features dark granite counters and an original 1947 O’Keefe and Merritt stove, along with a sunlit breakfast area with built-in cabinets.
Upstairs from the living room, there’s a loft that doubles as an office.
A stone fireplace warms the primary suite, which features a walk-in closet, an alcove and a clawfoot tub in the bathroom.
The oversized entertainer’s deck outside has a large pool and spa with waterfall features, a barbecue area and a two-story guest house, not included in the overall square footage. It includes a living space, an upstairs bedroom with French door access to a balcony and a detached bathroom with a shower.
Other features include a detached two-car garage with another two parking places.
Gwen Banta and Craig Nadeau of Sotheby’s International Realty share the listing, which hit the market on June 30.
My Chemical Romance formed in the early 2000s with vocalist Gerard Way, bassist Mikey Way, drummer Matt Pelissier and guitarists Frank Iero and Ray Toro. They gained a devoted following with their radio hits “I’m Not Okay (I Promise),” “Helena” and “The Ghost of You” from their second release and major-label debut, “Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge” in 2004.
Two years later, with Bob Bryar replacing Pelissier on drums, the band released the concept album “The Black Parade” about the reflections of a man dying of cancer. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the album, the members — excluding Bryar, who died in November 2024 at 44 — will go on tour with stops at the Dodger Stadium July 26 and 27.
