The Piano Man is movin' out.
Four years after purchasing an estate with picturesque views of Oyster Bay Harbor, the rock 'n' roll Hall-of-Famer has listed the place for sale with a prominent real estate firm.
Joel, who paid $22.5 million for the property in 2002, now has an asking price of $37.5 million. For that, a happy buyer will get a 40,000-square-foot brick, gabled house containing five bedrooms with three full baths, three half-baths and eight fireplaces on 14.26 acres with 1,550 feet of shoreline on Oyster Bay. There's also a 3-bedroom, 21/2-bath guest cottage and 3-bedroom, 3-bath pool house by the beach.
Other amentities include a gym, music room, wine cellar, outdoor pool, bowling alley and tennis courts and a domed-roof indoor pool room, which has been converted into a space for Joel's grand piano.
Joel's spokeswoman, Claire Mercuri, told Newsday: "Billy is a Long Islander and still maintains a property in Sag Harbor." She declined further comment.
