Bruce Springsteen's Famed 'Born To Run' House Is On The Market

The township house where music legend Bruce Springsteen wrote his Born to Run album is now for sale.

The 828-square-foot house in Long Branch, New Jersey is currently owned by Ryan DeCarolis, Gerald Ferrara, and his younger sister Kim McDermott.

All three are hardcore fans of the artist, who bought the house in 2009 to pay tribute to the American singer and songwriter, the NJ.com reports.

Together, they went to see over 100 Bruce Springsteen concerts.

When the Long Branch house was placed in the market in 2009, the three friends found an opportunity to own the ultimate Springsteen memorabilia. It is virtually a piece of American music history and the three were not letting go of the chance to own it, according to a previous article from NJ.com.

It was Ferrera's father who suggested that he purchase the house. Ferrera soon found himself persuading his sister McDermott and their friend DeCarolis to form a partnership and buy the house as co-owners.

The friends pooled their funds and got the house for $280,000. The move also saved the property from being demolished.

Six years later and after a few renovations, the three owners now found themselves heading to different directions. Owning and maintaining the house is just not possible anymore.

McDermott got divorced, DeCarolis got married, and Ferrera spends most of his time with his construction work. With their current circumstances, all three reluctantly agreed on selling the house.

Constructed in 1920, the Springsteen property features two bedrooms, a bathhouse with a newly renovated roof, as well as new wood floors and vinyl sidings.

The house is now in the market at $299,000.

The owners are currently engaged in talks with various groups, hoping to find a buyer who is into Bruce Springsteen as much as they are.

"I hope it doesn't just become some house on West End Court," said McDermott, a 46-year-old preschool teacher from Little Falls.

"We would hope someone would keep 'the Bruce factor' in it."
