US house where Bruce Springsteen wrote songs for 'Born To Run' album is for sale

LONG BRANCH, N.J. - For about $350,000, someone can buy a slice of music history.

The Asbury Park Press reports the cottage in New Jersey where Bruce Springsteen wrote the classic rock anthem "Born To Run" is for sale.

Real estate agent Susan McLaughlin says tourists stop by the house "all the time."

The five-room residence has three owners. If a buyer thinks the asking price is too high, there's another option: McLaughlin tells the newspaper that two of the owners would consider keeping their shares and selling only a one-third stake. A price for that hasn't been set.

Springsteen rented the cottage in 1974 and 1975. His album features the title song plus "Jungleland" and "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out."
