The Piano Man is movin'
out. Four years after purchasing an
estate with picturesque views of Oyster
Bay Harbor, the 57-year-old singer has
listed the place for sale with a prominent
real estate firm.
Joel, who paid $22.5 million
for the property in 2002, now has an
asking price of $37.5 million. For that,
a buyer will get a 40,000-square-foot
brick, gabled house containing five
bedrooms with three full baths, three
half-baths and eight fireplaces on 14.26
acres with 1,550 feet of shoreline on
Oyster Bay. There's also a guest cottage
and a pool house by the beach.
Joel's spokeswoman, Claire
Mercuri, told Newsday: "Billy is
a Long Islander and still maintains
a property in Sag Harbor." She
declined further comment.
Other amenities include
a gym, music room, wine cellar, outdoor
pool, bowling alley and tennis courts,
and a domed-roof indoor pool room, which
has been converted into a space for
Joel's grand piano.
