" It may not be near &amp;quot;The River,&amp;quot; but the 19th-century farmhouse where Bruce Springsteen wrote and rehearsed much of his fifth album\u00A0is surprisingly low-key.\u00A0 The 6,000-square-foot\u00A0Holmdel, New Jersey home where Springsteen lived for five years while recording &amp;quot;The River&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;The Heart Of Darkness&amp;quot; hit the market for $3.299 million\u00A0this week, after listing previously as a $5,000/month rental. According to 6sqft, neighbors used to call the six-bedroom\u00A0home \u2013 located on a horse farm that was once a calvary outpost \u2013\u00A0&amp;quot;Boss Acres&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Thrill Hill,&amp;quot; and they&amp;#039;d know Bruce was home when he parked his 1960 Corvette outside. The listing flaunts the home&amp;#039;s five fireplaces, historic barn,\u00A0in-ground swimming pool, and two apartments above the four-car heated garage.\u00A0 And even though it sounds cliche, The E Street Band really did\u00A0practice in the garage. Talk about bragging rights.\u00A0        Considering he was a\u00A0big-time rock star by the time he moved in,\u00A0The Boss doesn&amp;#039;t appear to\u00A0live as lavishly as you&amp;#039;d expect.\u00A0According to\u00A0NJ.com, Springsteen paid just $700 a month in rent\u00A0for\u00A0the space.\u00A0And those extra\u00A0bedrooms? They\u00A0weren&amp;#039;t exactly housing his entourage: Two of them were reportedly used as business and legal offices.\u00A0  Springsteen&amp;#039;s former road manager, Nick Seguso,\u00A0told Bruce Springsteen biographer, Peter Ames Carlin,\u00A0that during the height of &amp;quot;Born To Run&amp;quot; mania,\u00A0Springsteen\u00A0&amp;quot;wanted to rent a bigger house in a more remote area \u2013 a family-sized home where he could live comfortable, with enough room to rehearse, possibly all night if Bruce felt like it.&amp;quot; Interestingly enough, the tiny two-bedroom New Jersey\u00A0cottage\u00A0where Bruce Springsteen wrote &amp;quot;Born To Run&amp;quot; is also still on the market.\u00A0 Don&amp;#039;t think this means Springsteen is ever leaving Jersey though.\u00A0He reportedly still owns two homes in the Garden State \u2013 a horse farm in Colts Neck and a manse in Rumson, according to NJ.com.\u00A0 After all, no one knows better than Bruce: Nothing else\u00A0matters in this whole wide world when you&amp;#039;re in love with a Jersey girl house.\u00A0 Take a look inside the home below and the listing here.\u00A0        h/t: 6sqft.com "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
