The historic area of Bing Crosby Bay Area arrives on the market for $ 40 million.
A superb French style castle from the 1920s, formerly held by the late Bing Crosby, hits the market in Hillsborough, a chic suburb of San Francisco, for the first time in almost 60 years.
If you have already dreamed of having a magnificent castle in the desirable bay region, this is now your luck! This beautiful succession, covering more than five acres and previously owned by the actor and legendary singer, is to be won at a price of $ 40 million. Crosby and his second wife, Kathryn, who unfortunately died last year at 90, bought ownership in the 1960s for only $ 175,000.

The house includes 11 bedrooms and 15 bathrooms, with nearly 14,000 square feet of living space filled with antiques from the friend of Crosby, the newspaper of the newspaper William Randolph Hearst. The protruding facts include a superb wooden staircase in the 17th century, complex linen folding panels and personalized furniture.
This superb property was originally designed almost a century ago by renowned architects John Bakewell Jr. and Ernest Weihe for Lindsay Howard, the son of an aficionado and the Charles Howard horses, as well as his wife Anita. The laundry lime brick building underwent significant renovations during Crosby and was presented as a decorative show in 1998.
