If you’re not quite ready to go knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door, check out the Lower East Side home of Guns N’ Roses guitarist Richard Fortus.

Far from a jungle, the two-bedroom, one-bathroom home at 417 Grand St., part of the Seward Park co-ops, is now on the market for $1.19 million. Fortus bought it for $350,000 in 2003. It is the first home he purchased.

Fortus now lives in St. Louis with his lawyer wife, Stephanie Howlett, and their two kids. He had previously listed the co-op as a $5,000-a-month rental.

The renovated third-floor digs come with a private terrace. There’s also a windowed kitchen with ample storage and counter space, a Wolf range and a Bosch dishwasher, according to the listing.
