‘Iconic’ 4,000-square-foot, 8-bedroom Jersey Shore ‘Sinatra House’ known for serenading beachgoers sells for over $2 million

The Jersey Shore home known for serenading beachgoers with the sweet sounds of Frank Sinatra’s music has finally sold.

Located on the Point Pleasant Beach Boardwalk, the not-so-humble 8-bedroom, 4,000-square-foot abode was built in 1987 for the late Sony Music executive and Ol’ Blue Eyes fan Paul R. Smith, who would play Sinatra’s music from his front porch from 8am to 9pm daily during the summer.

“It was always great when we were sitting out there on the porch and different generations of people would walk by and stop and dance,” Smith’s daughter Susan Stinneford told NJ.com.

“They always said what great music it was. It didn’t matter if they were old or young.”

It sold on July 9 for $2.275 million, according to Homes.com, which called it “one of the most iconic properties on the entire NJ coast” because of “Ol’ Blue Eyes,” who was a Hoboken native. .

“The only time I hear complaints is when the music isn’t on,” Smith told the New York Times in 2002.

The grand mansion, which was sold by Smith’s four children, has been on and off the market since 2022.

It was first listed in September 2022 for $4.4 million and then taken off the market in March 2023. The following month, in April, it came back with a new price of $3.3 million, which lasted until August 2023.

It then went back on the market in March with an asking price of $2.95 million, according to NJ.com.

“It actually seems like a pretty good deal if you look at the square footage and other unique features the property has versus anything else in the area,” listing agent James Ward of Keller Williams Ocean Living told the media at the time.

“The price point was based on nothing other than the fact that it was a famous property and has unique physical features that make it stand out.”

When it went up for sale, Ward told NJ.com that the most frequent question he got from potential buyers was whether or not they should carry on the tradition of Sinatra’s playing.

Now that it’s sold, he told Patch, “The new owner hasn’t indicated yet if the music will continue.”
