The Piano Man has sold his oceanfront beach “bungalow” in the Hamptons for just under its $19.9 million reduced asking price, The Post has learned.
But Billy Joel will still be tickling the ivories on the East End — from his main Hamptons residence in Sag Harbor.
While Joel’s main residence is in Oyster Bay, he is a fixture of the Hamptons — known in the past for his motorcycle rides and impromptu piano sessions.
Corcoran broker Susan Breitenbach, who represented the mystery buyer, declined to comment.
The property, at 9 Gibson Lane, is a two-story, 5,500-square-foot beach house on one acre, with room for a pool — and an oceanfront pool permit already in place.
It was built in 1994 for the late actor Roy Scheider — of “Jaws” fame — who raised his family there before he sold it to Joel, who bought it for his then-wife, Katie Lee, in 2007. Lee enlisted designer pal Nate Berkus to create the home’s stunning interiors. By 2009, however, the beach house was back on the market — for a whopping $22.5 million.
The traditional cedar-shingled home has four bedrooms, six-and-a-half bathrooms, four fireplaces — and 180-degree ocean views, along with 145 feet of sandy beach. The chef’s kitchen — created for foodie TV personality and cookbook author Lee — comes with two Wolf ranges and lots of prep and storage space, along with a butler’s pantry.
In an unusual twist, the sleeping areas are on the main floor, while the kitchen, dining and living rooms are on the upper level, with an A-frame, cathedral-style ceiling with exposed beams and ductwork, to maximize the beach and ocean views, according to the listing.
The home also includes a two-car garage with a one-bedroom guest suite above that has a living room and half-bath.
