Former Bing Crosby Family House in the Bay area is now being sold at $ 40 million

Bing Crosby’s The former home officially hit the market after almost six decades.

The 1920s French Chateau-style singing home, which is sitting on five hectares of land, about 18 miles from San Francisco, in San Mateo County, is currently on the market for $ 40 million, in partnership with Jennifer Gilson’s list of international real estate Golden Gate Sotheby.

Bing and his wife, actress Kathryn Grant, bought a home in the 1950s, trying to raise their children outside Hollywood in the spotlight, which is still a family home. The son of Para, Harry Crosby, says Grant continued to live in the house after Bing’s death in 1977, and many Crosby’s trophies, including his 1944 film Academy, were still exposed.

“This is not just a luxury home – it’s part of American history. From its French elegance for Chateau to its historic past with icons like Bing Crosby and the legendary Seabiscuit, this property is an age of size that is almost impossible to repeat today,” Gilson told Fox Business. “Located on more than five hectares in the most prestigious Hillsborouga enclave, it offers a superior combination of privacy, heritage and timeless sophistication. This is more than residence – this is the landmark of the Golden Age in California.”

Bing Crosby struggled in his career to sing ‘White Christmas’ to the troops, the ‘most difficult thing’

After Grant’s death in September 2024, their children decided it was time to let go of 10 bedrooms, 10-spas, almost 14,000 square meters. According to Gilson, the $ 40 million price could set a record in Hillsborough.

“It’s hard to emotionally turn the page, but all the good things come to an end,” Harry said Mansion Globaladding that it was a “inevitable decision” because he and his brothers and sisters live in different areas across the country.

The red front door is a brick yard, lined with green hedges and stone columns, looking at a red -white brick house.

Once through the front door, the guests will find themselves in a stunning uniform, with lightweight floors of hardwood, decorated with blue rug, gray walls with square slats, decorated with decorated gold art and a chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

A large staircase with an intricate wooden fence leading to the upper level can be found on the right side of the front.

The spacious living room, which Harry told Mansion Global, is his favorite room in the house, contains a large piano, floor to ceiling windows, bringing plenty of natural light, as well as the door leading to the grassy fields outside.

Harry remembers his family gathering around a big piano during the holidays to sing Christmas songs, including the hit song by his father, “White Bozic”. The room contains a fireplace on wood, hardwood floors, more chandeliers and decorated carvings on the walls.

Bing’s office mostly stayed as he left him before he died, with many awards he had collected during his career. The room boasts many windows from floor to ceiling, as well as wooden lining with hand -carved design on a distant wall.

It is located inside the lining of wood are a wood fireplace and a built -in bookshelves, which sit on firm wood floors completely covered with large red rug. The wooden table sits opposite the large window, with white armchairs in front of it.

Harry said Mansion Global that most of the wood used for lining found in the house, as well as wooden staircase fences, came from the William Randolpha Hearsta collection, a close friend of Bing and a well -known newspaper publisher. The tree used in the house, which Hearst received from Europe, remained from the construction of Hearst Castle in San Simeon.

Somewhere else in the house is a unique dining room located in a circular space surrounded by a French glass door leading to the yard. The room is large enough to place the dining room large enough for 12 guests and contains a large chandelier from the Venetian glass hanging in the middle of the room.

The walls of the dining room are decorated with hand -painted roses.

One of the 11 bedrooms found in the house is a spacious primary apartment, which boasts white walls, except for an accent wall above the bed, the white floors of the carpet and fireplace for wood combustion. One key highlight of the primary bedroom is a luxury bathroom.

Just as beautiful as the primary bedroom, the remaining bedrooms are located throughout the home. One of them contains more windows from floor to ceiling with beige walls, chandelier in the middle of the room, two large mirrors on both sides of a blue bed and painting Audrey Hepburn in “My Fair Lady” hanging on the wall.

The windows open to Juliet balconies, looking at the yard.

The mass yard of the house once had a pool, but it was filled to make the kids safe. The yard now boasts a large grassy field that provides a lot of space for family gatherings.
