Billy Joel is making a comeback – not in the music world, but in the real estate sector with a relisting of a property that failed to sell 15 years ago.
Newsday reported the legendary singer/songwriter is relisting his 26-acre waterfront Centre Island estate in Oyster Bay, Long Island, for $49 million. The property – which Joel dubbed “Middlesea” – includes a mansion that is 20,000-square-feet and includes five bedrooms and eight bathrooms, along with a three-bedroom beach house, a bowling alley, helicopter pad and an inground pool.
Joel acquired the Centre Island estate for $22.5 million in 2002 and tried to sell it for $32.5 million in 2008. But no one would put bread in the Piano Man’s jar at the time, so it was withdrawn from the market until now.

Pictures of Billy Joel’s house would have been interesting ☺️
Not a positive read, what is good about the property? Is this a dream home, a happy place?
