A Peek Inside The Joel House

With the sad news that Billy and Katie Lee Joel will be ending their five year marriage, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at one of the places they called home - Centre Island, New York, which is located on Long Island. This is one of the many enclaves located on Long Island that the rich and famous call home. This estate is for sale.

Billy 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).
