Bill Murray's former New York home, tucked in the secluded celebrity-loved enclave of Snedens Landing, has been listed for $3.695 million.
While Murray lived at the residence in the 1980s and 1990s, the house featured the famed firepole that was seen in his classic 1984 movie "Ghostbusters."
The 74-year-old actor and his then-wife, Margaret "Mickey" Kelly, built the estate in 1986 on the site of a 19th century barn, known as the Yellow Barn.
BILL MURRAY'S FORMER MANSION HITS THE MARKET FOR $2 MILLION
The renowned architecture firm Shope Reno Wharton designed an expanded family home on the property for the former couple and incorporated elements inspired by the original Yellow Barn structure, per the listing.
The Colonial-style residence is located in the hamlet of Palisades in New York's Rockland County.
Just 11 miles north of the George Washington Bridge, the Palisades enclave Snedens Landing is home to a number of A-Listers including Scarlett Johansson and Al Pacino, and is sometimes referred to as "Hollywood on the Hudson," per Mansion Global.
Marjorie Galen of Ellis Sotheby's International Realty holds the listing.
The 5,177 square feet, five bedroom, four and half bathroom home is situated on 3.92 acres of land. The property also includes a freestanding two-car garage with an office/studio space above that "harkens back architecturally to the charming Yellow Barn and the bygone days of river village life in Snedens Landing," according to the listing.
The residence is now known as the Yellow House due to its bright yellow-painted wood siding exterior.
The first level of the home boasts an expansive living room that features 15-foot cathedral ceilings, numerous windows, a wood-burning fireplace and an office nook with a built-in day bed.
The living room features sets of French doors that open to a wrap-around porch and an expansive back lawn with a tree house.
The chef's kitchen, which was recently renovated and is located in "the footprint of the Yellow Barn," includes its original 19th century wood burning fireplace as well as a large center island and "state of the art" appliances, per the listing. A laundry room and a guest bedroom are located off the kitchen.
