Billy Joel rented a home along the Hudson River in Highland Falls, New York, during the 1970s, and on the way to the house while riding a Greyhound bus, the song “New York State of Mind” came to him, the singer later recalled.

That home, which was purchased for $100,000 in the 1980s by a married couple, is now hitting the market for $2.5 million, The Wall Street Journal reports. 

The 4,300-square-foot house, built in the 1950s, features five bedrooms and views of the Hudson River, a pool, three-bedroom carriage house, one-bedroom cottage and a vineyard.
