The 20 bedroom estate John Travolta shared with his late wife, fellow actor Kelly Preston was recently listed for $5million ...
As featured in Architectural Digest, this classic 20+ bedroom shingle style home has been beautifully maintained and totally redecorated. Set privately at the north end of Islesboro island, this remarkable home was built in 1903 and is made up of 4 lots sitting on nearly 50-acres of spectacular oceanfront land including a deep water dock on Sabbathday Harbor. The land, which is partially in conservation with the Islesboro Island Trust, includes wonderful open fields with ocean views, walking paths through the woods down to the shorefront, beach and open ocean access, garden areas, and a majestic approach up a tree covered winding gravel road.
Purchased by John Travolta and his late wife Kelly Preston 1991, who sadly died in July after being diagnosed with cancer in 2018 aged 57, the house is perfectly designed to accommodate large groups of friends and family, but cozy enough for single family living. There are great entertaining spaces including a large fieldstone fireplace in the living room, a fantastic custom built bar area, a great dining room with a fireplace, a large and well equipped kitchen with a walk in refrigerator and fabulous pantry area. There is also an office and laundry room on the first floor. The second floor features the master bedroom suite with its own private sun porch, and full bathroom with a claw foot tub and separate shower, as well as 14 additional bedrooms and 4 additional full bathrooms. The entire third floor of the home is a magical children's space complete with four separate themed bedrooms and a full bathroom, a school house, a library, a diner, play equipment, and a built in stage with props for endless entertainment.
There are two large sun porches, and a sunny back deck overlooking an in ground swimming pool. There is also a detached barn for car storage. This is a one of a kind property.
The property is listed with Brian Wickenden of Legacy Properties Sotheby's International Realty.
