Bing Crosby's Historic Hillsborough Estate Listed for $40 Million

The French-style chateau, owned by the late entertainer and his family for nearly six decades, features 11 bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, and a storied Hollywood history.

• The estate, located in Hillsborough, California, spans over five acres and offers nearly 14,000 square feet of living space.
• Originally built in 1929, the home was purchased by Bing Crosby and his second wife, Kathryn Grant, in the 1960s for $175,000.
• The property includes unique features such as a 17th-century staircase from William Randolph Hearst's collection, a Venetian chandelier, and a grand piano featured in the film 'High Society.'
• The listing, priced at $40 million, could set a record for the Hillsborough area, surpassing a $30 million sale in 2021.
• The decision to sell follows the passing of Crosby's widow, Kathryn Grant, in September 2024, with their son Harry Crosby stating it was an emotional but necessary choice.
