Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Born to Run’ house up for sale in Long Branch

The small home where Bruce Springsteen lived when he wrote his classic Born to Run record is looking for a new owner.

The two-bedroom, 828-square-foot house at 7½ West End Court in Long Branch, N.J., is owned by three fans of the musician who bought it with the intention of turning it into a tribute to the rock legend.

One of its owners, Jerry Ferrera, told nj.com that he, his sister and a friend paid $280,000 for the house in 2009.

They wanted to turn the cottage into an attraction for Bruce’s legion of fans, and over the years, many of them had arrived at the place he penned Born to Run

 And Bruce-worshipers from around the world do drop by – but not in sufficient numbers, it is likely, to keep the museum idea afloat. .

The box set also presents a hardcover 148-page coffee table book containing 200 studio and live photographs plus pages from Springsteen’s notebooks, single covers, images and outtakes from the original album package, and other memorabilia documenting the album. 

“It can’t be proven, but people pretty much assume that he was looking for Bruce’s house”, said Holder.

The expansive boxset will contain 52 tracks on four CDs with previously unreleased material featuring alongside four hours of never-before-seen video on three DVDs.
