Billy Joel first saw his New York estate while farming oysters as a teenager. He’s now selling it for over $49 million.
The “Piano Man” singer and lifelong New Yorker is selling his massive waterfront estate in Centre Island, New York, after completing a five-year renovation project.
Known as “MiddleSea,” the estate spans 26 acres and has over 2,000 feet of private beach access, four separate homes, two swimming pools, and views of Long Island Sound.
Aside from the luxurious amenities and square footage, MiddleSea also has quite the backstory.
The New York Times reported that Joel first spotted the waterfront estate as a teenager while harvesting oysters to earn extra money to support his working-class family.
“I’ll never live in a house like that,” he said that he thought to himself at the time, The New York Times reported.
He was wrong. Joel ended up purchasing the estate in 2002. Forbes reported in 2019 that his net worth was an estimated $52 million.
Take a look inside Billy Joel’s waterfront estate in Centre Island, New York, which is on the market for $49.9 million.
