AFP PhotoBilly Joel bought this home in 2002 for $22 million. They were married there in 2004.
This is a 14,000 square foot main house, which includes a 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath guest cottage AND 3 bedroom, 3 bath beach house. My house is a 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath - I must remember to refer to it as the "guest cottage".
This estate also includes indoor and outdoor pools, a tennis court and a bowling alley.
So what would this little gem cost you? A meager $37.5 million (taxes are estimated to be almost $200,000.00 a year; I wonder if you could grieve that).

I don't know how someone could feel at home in a house that size. I would have to stick to the guest house. However, the indoor and outdoor pools do have my interest :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome to SITS, it a great place to make new friends.
What a timely blog, thank you for giving us a peek into that home, it's really unbelievable isn't it? ;)
ReplyDeleteWe are down-sizing from our "guest house" because the kids grew up and it's big for us now. Can't even imagine 14,000 square feet of living space!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the welcome Sheryl!
It certainly looks gorgeous Marie, but I would get lost in there!
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is WOW!!! I really don't know what I would do with all that space!! It is absolutely stunning.
ReplyDeletebut $200,000 for taxes!!!
Holy C--P!
Wow!! In our last house (all 894 square feet of it) we installed a french door to separate the bedrooms from the living space. It was fondly refered to as the "west wing" thereafter! :o)
ReplyDeleteKimberly ~ I could waste half a day just getting from the bedroom to the front door!
ReplyDeleteDonna ~ That's cute - "the west wing"! I was wrong, I have a 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, center hall colonial - might be too big for a "guest cottage", what with that extra bedroom and all! : )
Nice crib!! I always wondered how they managed the 35 year age difference.
ReplyDelete14,000 sq. ft for two people - seriously! that is insane. I'm way too practical, I suppose :D
ReplyDeletethere was once a lot of love there
ReplyDeleteMy word that home (or house...) is unreal! I'd love to see it and walk through it, but I would never feel at home there. I'll take my guest cottage any day! :)
ReplyDeleteMartha ~ Ah, there you go!
ReplyDeleteCarma ~ It is insane for those of us who are not used to something so big. I mean really, is it really necessary to build something that big.
Gals in the Know ~ I'm sure. It's always sad to hear about a marriage ending.
Elizabeth ~ I'm sure it would be much like walking through a museum, just taking it all in.
