If you’re a Beastie Boys fanatic—or  looking to score a turnkey midcentury for less than one million dollars—this lakefront home may be of interest. Tucked away in Hewitt, New Jersey, just 35 miles from New York City, the single-family residence was built in 1955 and comes packed with period charm.

The 1950s home rests at the end of a private road, providing a quiet setting on a double-wide lot.

Beastie Boys’ Adam Keefe Horovitz—better known as Ad-Rock—purchased the dwelling in 2006 with his partner, musician and feminist activist Kathleen Hanna, for $399,500. Over the last 15 years, the creative duo have primarily used the property as a weekend/summer retreat.

Clerestory windows span the wall in the living room, which also features a broad brick fireplace.
