Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong puts beach cottage up for sale for $1.8m while in rehab



Rehab real estate: Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong put his Newport Beach home on the market on Sunday



He's currently in rehab for substance abuse treatment following a guitar-smashing meltdown onstage in September.



And Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong - clearly in the midst of a seismic shift in his life - decided to sell his Newport Beach home for $1.895 million on Sunday.



According to property records, the 40-year-old rocker and his wife Adrienne bought the single- family house in 2006 for $1.7 million and rebuilt it 'from the studs up' in 2007.



With the home's unimposing structure serenely surrounded by a dainty white-picket fence, it's hard to believe this is the same place the notoriously short-tempered punk star resided for five years.



Located two blocks from the Pacific Ocean, the quaint cottage has two stories, three bedrooms, and three-and-a-half bathrooms.



The living room includes a fireplace and opens to a private patio, and the backyard has towering stalks of bamboo rather than the usual swimming pool or lawn.



There's a kitchen with gourmet appliances and - to keep the sand off the hardwood floor - the place has an outdoor shower.

It's not a total loss though as Billie and Adrienne's primary home is actually in Piedmont, the super-wealthy San Francisco suburb.
