The late old Hollywood actor and singer Bing Cosby’s Tudor-style home is hitting the market for 13.75 million. Cosby moved into the home with his wife and kids back in the 1960s, moving to the suburb of Hillsborough so they could raise their children away from Hollywood's spotlight, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Built back in the 1930s, the English Tudor house, which sits on a 3-acre property, underwent major renovations to the bathrooms, laundry room, kitchen, and mudroom that were completed in 2014. The home is now described as having high ceilings, a ballroom/living space, and a casual 10 bedrooms and 10.5 bathrooms. Some of the amenities from the home include a custom-made gourmet kitchen, a large heated pool, terrace, three-car garage, and a chauffer's apartment.

Think of the parties—with very impressive guest lists—that have been hosted in this house. "There is no doubt that the ballroom was the scene of “White Christmas” sing-a-longs during the Crosby’s holiday season," reads the listing at Sothebys. And in the seven years the current owners owned the house, they hosted "everyone from the legendary Freddy Cole to famous Grammy-winning trumpeter Chris Botti and The Hot Sardines," through their organization Jazz at the Ballroom.
