The Jersey Shore house known for serenading beachgoers with the sweet sounds of Frank Sinatra music has finally been sold.
Located on the boardwalk of Point Pleasant Beach, the not-so-humble 8 bedroom 4,000-square-foot abode was built in 1987 for the late Sony Music exec and Ol’ Blue Eyes fan Paul R. Smith, who would play Sinatra music from his porch from 8 a.m. until 9 p.m. every day during the summer.
“It was always great when we were sitting 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 would always say 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 Shore” for its cranking of Ol’ Blue Eyes, who was a Hoboken native.
The sprawling residence, which was sold by Smith’s four children, was on and off the market since 2022.
It was originally listed in September 2022 for $4.4 million and was then taken off the market in March 2023. The following month, in April, it was back on with a new price of $3.3 million, which lasted until August 2023.
It then came back on the market in March with a $2.95 million price tag, according to NJ.com .

“It actually comes across as 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 from Keller Williams Ocean Living told the outlet at the time.
“The price point wasn’t based on anything else other than the fact that it was a famous property and it has unique physical features that make it stand out.”
When it was up for sale, Ward had told NJ.com that the most frequently asked question he received from prospective buyers was whether or not they had to keep up the Sinatra playing tradition.
Now that it’s been sold, he told Patch , “The new owner has yet to reveal if the music will continue.”
