Start spreading the news: An East Coast residence with ties to Frank Sinatra has hit the market. No, it’s not located in New York, New York, but it is very close by in historic and charming Hoboken, New Jersey, which has a lively allure of its own.
The “That’s Life” and “One for My Baby” crooner purchased this brownstone at 909 Hudson Street for his parents in the 1940s, just as he was making his rise and becoming a cultural phenomenon. While you can’t buy the full home now, as it has been broken into six units, the “owner’s duplex” and one-bedroom garden apartment are up for sale together seeking a snazzy $3.95 million.
It’s been a while since Sinatra wandered these halls, and things have changed a lot. The owner’s duplex is light, bright, and completed gut-renovated: Displaying a sophisticated chef’s kitchen, polished closets, and transitional fixtures and finishes that don’t push the building too far outside of its historic, comfort zone, but definitively feel new and fresh. It still nods to its past as well with good bones that display 12-foot-high ceilings and a moody period fireplace.
Further highlights include the three bedrooms set tranquilly upstairs and the parlor floor’s relaxing backyard. With the one-bedroom lower level apartment included as well, it’s a sweet opportunity for multi-generational living or generating rent income.
Peter Cossio and Wes Page of Brown Harris Stevens hold the listing.
