Three years after it was put on the market, the house of this music legend has finally found a buyer. But not at the initially desired price. However, the services are breathtaking, there is even a heliport and a bowling alley…
It was in 2023 that this singer decided to part with one of his properties, which had become too heavy in taxes… And for good reason: it cost him no less than 600,000 dollars in taxes per year! Initially announced for sale for the very tidy sum of 50 million dollars, it was finally sold for “only” 38 million. Robb Report.
More precisely, it is an entire 10-hectare estate located in the residential village of Center Island, on the north coast of Long Island, New York. Bordered by the waves of the Atlantic Ocean, the estate is made up of five pavilions: a main mansion, a beach villa, an outbuilding for guests, a staff house and a room to carry out any necessary work or repairs. In total, this represents no less than 18 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, two swimming pools, a private pontoon allowing direct access to the plot by the sea…
Exceptional performances but, now aged 76 and with a career now behind him, it represented too much financial effort for this singer. To get rid of it, the artist had to make a major concession: divide it to sell it in lots. The very first house – consisting of seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms – was sold last year for $7 million.
Recently, he sold the centerpiece of his estate, the last one still on the market. An 1860 square meter mansion, renovated in the early 1990s in the spirit of the most luxurious cruise ships, offering marble floors, a dance hall, a spa and even competitive bowling. Outside, several tennis courts, a swimming pool and even a heliport make it very easy to get to Manhattan.
Who is this singer who sold this XXL domain? This is the singer of the hits Piano Man And honestyAmerican singer Billy Joel. The man who has won no less than six Grammy Awards, and who announced last year that he was suffering from a brain disorder, is nevertheless not leaving the region since he has kept two properties there: that of Sag Harbor and that of the Hamptons. He also owns several villas in Florida.
