Marshall Bruce Mathers III (Eminem), the 15-time Grammy Award winner, was raised in St. Joseph, Mo., where he became a local legend before turning into an international superstar. His former home in Rochester, Michigan, was sold in 2022 for $2,350,000.
Although it’s no longer on the market, the listing still provides a unique opportunity to see where Eminem spent his off hours.
The living room features a richly warm hardwood floor, a decorative ceiling, an impressive fireplace, and one wall comprised almost wholly of windows. It’s roomy enough to host a corps of fellow musicians and allow them plenty of elbow room, should they decided impulsively to make some music.
The dining room is plenty large to serve a feast with the entire extended family. The wooden finish gives the space an upscale tone that is kept from being overwhelming by maximizing the outside view.
This kitchen is equipped with oversized, twin refrigerators, along with a wine cooler for easy meals and fun nights. There are two marble islands and two sinks, making it accessible to multiple users concurrently.
When walking into the great room, the beauty and elegance stand out immediately. Again, the strategic placement of widows is one of the most obvious assets to the internal architecture.
The bar and media center — set diagonally from each other — help define this space as one of relaxation and comfort.
One other convenience is the attractive fireplace. It is on a timer that lights it automatically when the sun goes down.
Here’s a close-up of that incredible wet bar.
Upstairs, the master bedroom is appropriately fit for a king. This room has high, tray ceilings that use artistic angles to keep it visually interesting, two ceiling fans, and plenty of open space.
Outside is a relaxing balcony looking into the woods, ideal for nice weather days and nights.

The master bath has a stunning white finish and copious amounts of open space. It contains marble vanities and an oversized, circular, glass-block shower.
Back downstairs is a second great room. The centerpiece here is the impressive fireplace and its stone chimney. The use of natural elements on the wall blends perfectly with the hardwood flooring that has been extended from the living room to this adjacent relaxation/hosting spot.
Knowing that an entertainer like Eminem needs to be fit, it’s understandable that he would want an onsite training facility. This fully equipped, fully carpeted gym is just a walk downstairs from the main floor. It comes with everything needed for a workout, including a regulation punching bag.
The three-door garage has enough space to hold a fleet of sports cars (or any other upscale vehicle).

Looking to cool off? This incredible property has a huge pool right in the backyard. There is plenty of open space with umbrellas and lawn chairs for relaxing on a sunny day.
The property also features a multipurpose court (tennis and regulation basketball) perfect for outdoor cardio or shooting some hoops with friends.
The guest house is a perfect place for a friend or relative to stay a while. It is a cozy nook with plenty of windows for letting in sunlight. The small garden and patio table serve to make even a short stay, a deep-dive into opulence.
Eminem’s former home in Rochester, Mich., is an estate fitting for a music idol. Whether its present owner is an entertainer, a captain of industry, or a well-off professional, it’s certain that he or she is living large.
And should it ever reenter the market, there’s no doubt that the subsequent owner will come to love its architectural details almost instantaneously.
