Academy Award-winning actor Joe Pesci is selling his Jersey Shore waterfront mansion for $6.5 million, and it’s featured this week at TopTenRealEstateDeals.com.
Up for sale in Lavallette, New Jersey, his Jersey Shore waterfront home, built in 1990, is a 7,200-square-foot contemporary with an Art Deco vibe located in the West Point Island neighborhood. It’s protected from Atlantic storms on Barnegat Bay and only a short bicycle ride to the beach.
Bright, airy and spacious and taking full advantage of the beautiful view, the eight-bedroom, eight-bath home has an open floor plan with large rooms perfect for large parties that spill out to the spacious pool terrace at the water’s edge with boat dock beyond.
Pesci, with his sights focused on a future of returning to warm California sunshine, once again has teamed up with Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro and Al Pacino in a new film, ‘The Irishman,’ which will stream on Netflix starting November 27th.
The gated property is completely fenced with a large motor court that can accommodate multiple guests as well as a two-car garage for the owner. Upon entering, a dramatic free-standing curved staircase sets the stage for the living areas. With white rooms filled with light and the backdrop of the bay through floor-to-ceiling windows, the living room with its two seating areas and pianos hint at musical get togethers.
The large eat-in kitchen with island is perfect for preparing large meals for dinner guests in the dining room encircled by glass doors opening to the pool terrace and bay. The comfortable media room walls are decorated with posters from Pesci’s films and because his first job was as a barber, a barber’s chair occupies one corner as a poignant reminder. The upper level, which can also be reached by elevator, contains bedrooms and an office, all with upper terraces and spectacular views. A downstairs party room next to the pool and spa has its own kitchen for entertaining.
Many celebrities who were born and raised in New Jersey have homes up and down the Jersey Shore similar to Joe. From makeup mogul Bobbi Brown to Jon Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, author Mary Higgins Clark and many more, the shore is awash in glitterati.
Again, priced at $6.5 million, the listing agent is Michael Puccio of RE/MAX Central, North Manalapan, New Jersey.
