Billy Joel Thinks His Home Has Had Too Much Publicity

Filed under: Estates, Celebrity Shopping

Billy Joel's Centre Island, New York home has disappeared from the Daniel Gale Sotheby's International website which usually means that a home has been sold. In this case however, Newsday reports that the home is still for sale at the same price it has been listed at for the last year, $32.5 million. Joel bought the mansion in 2002 for $22 million and it was originally listed at $37.5 million when we looked at it as an estate of the day. So why has the listing been pulled. The real estate agent Bonnie Williamson is quoted as saying that the are keeping it low key for now. Apparently Joel feels the listing has been public for a while and needs a break.

Today's estate takes us back to the luxury enclave of Centre Island, New York (a place we most recently covered for Billy Joel's home, still on the market at $32 million). Today's home is a classic Colonial built in 1900. The home has been redone and updated. The home has five acres that include a pool, tennis courts, a cabana and a sandy beach. Inside the redo has been a bit of a charmectomy and the current decor is a touch shabby chic but the good bones remain with high ceilings, oak floors and delicate moldings. it is listed at $14.8 million. After the jump, tennis with a view.

UPDATE: This home, which belongs to Rupert Murdoch and was recently rented by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is now listed at $12.8 million.

We received a hot tip that this castle-like waterfront home in Centre Island, New York which was recently put on the market just might be the home of Billy Joel. Joel bought his home in 2002 for $22 million and was married there in 2004. This estate has 1550 feet of waterfront. The large 14,000 square foot main house is definitely Piano Man-worthy (note the elegant grand piano. The estate also include a three bedroom, 2 1/2 bath guest cottage and three bedroom, three bath beach house. Other features include indoor and outdoor pools, tennis court and a bowling alley. It is listed at $37.5 million by Daniel Gale. After the jump, I'm in a New York state of mind.

[Thanks, Pat]
