7 1/2 West End Court, Long Branch ©2009 Susan McLaughlin Keller Williams Realty

First time offered:  the landmark beach town cottage where Bruce Springsteen lived in 1974-1975 when he wrote the entire "Born to Run" album. 

Bruce often talks about living here, including in the Born to Run documentary made in 2005 on the 30th anniversary of it's re-mastered release.  In the documentary, Bruce returns to 7 1/2 West End Court and reminisces about how he would sit on the porch or sit on the edge of his bed, writing Thunder Road, Born to Run, Tenth Avenue Freeze Out, Backstreets, She's the One and Jungleland.   

The 5 room, 2BR, 1Bath cottage is bigger than it looks at about 828 square feet.  It is just 120 feet from beach access (at my old apartment where I lived in 1974-1975 when Bruce lived here).  It has high ceilings and is built in the traditional Southern "Shot gun" style.  The lot is 25 x 95, Zoned commercial-residential (C-3)

Comps for the area's cottages are $250.000  I have it listed at $299,000

What's it worth?  It's priceless :-)

how close to the beach is this house?

what town specifically is this home in?

I was born and lived in Rumson most of my life, so I know the area pretty well.

thanks for your time.
