Bill Murray’s Iconic New York Home Hits the Market

Step into a slice of Hollywood history with Bill Murray’s former residence, now available for $3.695 million. This unique opportunity allows buyers to own a piece of cinematic nostalgia nestled in the exclusive Snedens Landing, affectionately dubbed “Hollywood on the Hudson.” Just 11 miles from Manhattan’s George Washington Bridge, this serene enclave boasts celebrity neighbors like Al Pacino and Scarlett Johansson.

Known as the Yellow House, this stunning estate was built in 1986 by Murray and his ex-wife, Margaret “Mickey” Kelly. Designed by the esteemed architecture firm Shope Reno Wharton, this Colonial-style home spans 5,177 square feet and sits on nearly four acres of lush land. Its vibrant exterior pays homage to the original 19th-century structure it replaced—the Yellow Barn.

For die-hard fans of Murray’s classic film Ghostbusters, this property holds an irresistible charm: it once featured the same firepole used in the movie, adding an extra layer of Hollywood allure. Listed by Marjorie Galen of Ellis Sotheby’s International Realty, this home is perfect for those who appreciate both history and luxury.

The residence features five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths, seamlessly blending modern comforts with historic elegance. The first floor showcases a breathtaking living room adorned with 15-foot cathedral ceilings, expansive windows flooding the space with light, a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and French doors leading to a wrap-around porch—ideal for entertaining or quiet relaxation.

The chef’s kitchen has been recently renovated yet retains its original 19th-century wood-burning fireplace, creating a warm ambiance that complements modern appliances and a spacious central island. Adjacent to the kitchen are a guest bedroom and a convenient laundry room.

Ascending to the second floor reveals an airy layout anchored by a central staircase beneath a cupola that bathes the home in natural light. The primary suite serves as a luxurious retreat with high ceilings and dual walk-in closets. Two additional bedrooms share a well-appointed bathroom on the opposite wing.

This estate also includes an adjacent two-acre buildable parcel at 28 Ludlow Lane and features a freestanding two-car garage with an office and studio space above—perfect for remote work or creative endeavors.

Rich in Hollywood history and surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, Bill Murray’s former home offers an extraordinary blend of celebrity heritage, architectural beauty, and tranquil seclusion—all just minutes from New York City. For those eager to embrace life in this storied enclave, this property presents an unparalleled opportunity to live amidst both natural splendor and cinematic magic.
