Following his untimely death earlier this year, Ronnie James Dio’s house has been put on the market. The $3.3 million Encino mansion boasts five bedrooms, five bathrooms, and the knowledge that one of the most legendary vocalists in music once lived there. The 29 year-old English-style property has some amazing custom features, like 200 year old wood floors from France, an actual pub bar from the Kings Arms in Chicqwell Essex, England circa 1820, and custom stained antique windows from the 18th and 19th centuries. And of course there’s a studio downstairs. As sad as Dio’s departure is, here’s hoping that the property finds an owner worthy of it. More pictures after the jump.
