Singer Billy Joel is still trying to sell two of his adjacent Manalapan lots for a combined price of $27 million. According to Miami Curbed, Joel is still unsuccessful in finding a buyer, so the current price is $2 million below the original asking amount. It was said that the cause of this would be probably the result of the softening of the luxury real estate market in the area.
The nine-bedroom, nine-bathroom Atlantic-to-Intracoastal mansion at 1920 South Ocean Boulevard. The vacant lot next door also features over 300 feet of water frontage, making it a good vacation home.
Listing details reveal that the renovations were completed this year, and the main residence has a total of seven bedrooms and seven full bathrooms. The estate also has a separate two-bedroom guesthouse that is complete with a cabana bathroom.
Upon entering the private gates, one will see the beauty of the estate with the luscious gardens. To the west loggia, there is a sparking turquoise glass tiled pool with a coquina stone deck. There is also a custom-made side bar with teak countertop.
The outdoor area also features whipping water jets, spectacular LED lights, a fountain hot tub with shell water feature, and a two-tiered lawn. There is also a private dock where people can enjoy the sunrise and sunset views.
It was said that the recent renovations include drastically changing and improving the floor plan to not oversize the home, keeping it comfortable. There is a custom kitchen that is designed with handcrafted cabinets and unique Chicago brick barrel ceiling.
The main level has larger windows and doors allowing a lot of natural light to come in. There are also new bathrooms and the addition of a main floor bedroom and bathroom. The second level has a direct access to the guest house and is designed with lime watched Pecky Cypress ceilings. Outside, there is also an air conditioned 4-car garage.
