Crooner Perry Como's onetime spot on Long Island relists at $2.9 million

"The stately Colonial is set on 2.5 wooded acres and reached by way of a circular driveway that can park up to 15 cars. Behind the house, which was built in 1937, is a swimming pool with a cabana. A great room with beamed ceilings, added during Como's ownership, overlooks the pool."

"Also within the living space is a formal dining room, a wood-paneled library, five fireplaces, six bedrooms, four bathrooms and a powder room. A cartoon drawing of the singer and the words 'Ladies will please stay seated during the entire performance' remains on the powder room wall."

"The affable Como, who died at 88 in 2001, bought the house in 1946 and raised his family there until selling in the '70s and moving to Florida. His weekly musical variety show, 'Perry Como's Kraft Music Hall,' and its holiday spinoffs earned five Emmys."

The estate offers beach rights and was purchased by Como in 1946, where he raised his family until selling in the 1970s to relocate to Florida. Como, the Emmy-winning crooner who died in 2001, achieved fame through his variety show and hit songs.
