BillyjoelhouseBilly Joel, the iconic singer from Long Island, is selling his 14,000 square foot home for 37.5 million dollars. The home in Centre Island, a hamlet on Oyster Bay Harbor, also has a guest cottage and a pool house.  Joel has another home in Sag Harbor, along with homes in Greenwich Village and Miami.

His main reason for wanting to leave Centre Island, the sources said, is his frustration over not being able to build a dock for his three boats. No new piers have been approved in decades because local officials arranged with the feds for the harbor to become a national wildlife refuge in the early 1970s to stop a proposed bridge from Bayville to Rye. As a result, Joel has kept his $2.5-million commuter yacht Vendetta, fishing boat Alexa and a pontoon landing craft across the harbor in Oyster Bay. Joel has complained about the restriction.

The listing by Daniel Gale / Sotheby’s International Realty notes that the Piano Man’s spread includes a 14,000-square-foot brick, gabled house with 1,550 feet of frontage on Oyster Bay Harbor. Among the amenities is a domed-roof indoor pool room where Joel had the pool filled in to create the perfect acoustical home for a grand piano. Also on the grounds are a guest cottage and a pool house.
