Billy Joel’s $49.9 Million Long Island Estate Hits the Market After Multi-Million Dollar Renovation

In an unexpected twist, legendary musician Billy Joel has put his jaw-dropping Long Island waterfront estate back on the market for an eye-popping $49.9 million. Known as “MiddleSea,” this luxurious 26-acre property has undergone a lavish five-year transformation that has turned it into a private paradise like no other.

Almost a year and a half after it first hit the market for $49 million and following an extensive multimillion-dollar renovation, Billy Joel’s longtime residence in Centre Island, New York, is back on the market with a slightly increased asking price of just under $50 million. The 26-acre waterfront  property, listed by Nancy Cuite and Lisa Lavelle of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Laffey International Realty, was acquired by the Grammy-winning artist in 2002 and named MiddleSea, reflecting its location and a nod to the  musical note middle C.
