I live in the town where this house is and we ve gone by it more times than I can count when boating

O livia Newton-John, who sang her way into our hearts as Sandy in Grease (and doesn t look like she s aged at all since the 1970s!), has a house on Jupiter Island in Florida. thailandtravel packages She and husband John Easterling bought it in 2009 and put $2 million into renovating thailandtravel packages it. Now they re selling for $6.2 million take a look!
My friends at Redfin told me about the listing. Their blog about the house explains: It is located on the Jupiter Inlet Colony, which is on the southernmost tip of Jupiter Island, surrounded by inlets and the Atlantic Ocean. The area has been home to a variety of celebrities, including Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Kid Rock and Celine Dion.
The home has hurricane impact-rated glass windows and doors, thailandtravel packages which is pretty important given the proximity to the ocean. It has a beachy feel, with custom driftwood cabinets, cypress tongue-and-groove ceilings, coral stone flooring, and lush tropical landscaping.
I love the open to nature feel of this house .lots of windows, lovely views. Not as big a fan of the driftwood cabinets, thailandtravel packages the idea sounds good, but somehow they seem over done or boring to me. The two bean bags chairs look silly in that room, they should have staged it better. I think I see evidence of some kind of roll down window coverings on all the great big windows. My pet peeve of house staging is huge windows in bathrooms and bedrooms with no way to get privacy.
OH MY GOODNESS! Sorry for the caps, but what a gorgeous home! She may be known as a 70 s and 80 s celebrity, but there is certainly nothing dated about this place. Love the artisanal feel of the decor. The only thing I m not so sure about is the life-size dolphin!
I adored ONJ when I was a pre-teen! I sang along to her records all the time. I like the house from the outside, but the inside isn t what I imagined her house would look like. I find it a little boring and disappointing. I pictured something softer thailandtravel packages and more colorful. I think it s all those driftwood cabinets. thailandtravel packages They look too heavy and bleak, and usually I am a fan of natural wood cabinets over painted wood cabinets. Something is just off here for me.
Beautiful house with great architectural features . however, the palette seems a bit blah and neutral. But that could be fixed by the next owner! The driftwood thailandtravel packages cabinets might be more suitable for a rugged Big Sur home rather than a pretty Florida retreat.
thailandtravel packages Darn you I now have Summer Nights playing in my head!!! I really liked the exterior and was expecting to see yellow and perhaps cottage-y inside. The interior doesn t go with the outside to me (but who says that it has to?) Anyway, it reminds me of Hawaii inside thailandtravel packages for some reason. Maybe it is all the wood kind of Polynesian. Interesting house, though!
I saw the back of this house from a friend s boat, over the weekend. I really loved the exterior of the house, thailandtravel packages not knowing who it belonged to, or that it was for sale. I have a thing for yellow houses. thailandtravel packages Most of the surrounding homes are Mediterranean style McMansions .sometimes just mansions, that are a bit ostentatious for my taste. I have to say, I m a bit disappointed with the interior though .awfully bland for the tropics!
i don t like the house itself but the last picture waow!!! i can easily see myself thailandtravel packages sipping a french aperitif at dawn with family and friends, especially now we are having an awful weather very cold for a soon june month. I m sending you all my best, keep going on your wonderful thailandtravel packages work julia, you re the best!
I love the picture on the dock and those blue chairs, however not a fan of the interior. The driftwood cabinets are too drab and look too rustic for the location. I would paint them white or replace them. Also could use a bit more furniture in the den area. Otherwise beautiful exterior thailandtravel packages and location.
I for one appreciated your restraint! lol I love the outside and the location but the inside is awful!!! Those cabinets would have to go!! I wonder where they spent the two million dollars on renovations?
Kind of weird. Do those clunky driftwood cabinets (especially the bar) remind anyone of the Flintstones? And, what is it, termites or something that prevent people in tropical areas from having thailandtravel packages wood floors? I can t get on board with light colored tile all over the floor. Ick. Maybe a nice terra cotta tile. The giant beanbags? Bizarre. I ll pass.
Laura, I live in the tropics so I can answer your question (for me, anyway!). Wood is lovely thailandtravel packages but sand and water, from both beach and tropical deluge, damage it fast as do the ever present termites. Carpets trap all the sand and dirt blown in by the trade winds, so that s out. Unless you have money enough to refinish your wood floors frequently, you turn toward hard surface such as tile, polished thailandtravel packages concrete etc. and I got the grout in the exact color of our Maui dirt so I don t have to fuss about that either.
You know what song is going to replay in my head today Summer Lovin is that what it was called its been a long time. Well about the home there is something missing I thought she would have a softer style. thailandtravel packages I love the home on the outside and of course it s water views. Let me just say if someone gave me the key to this place I couldn t refuse. Hi Julia after all that hope the sun is shining for you and the flowers are everywhere. Regards Esther fro Sydney. PS have a great weekend.
This house has good bones, but man is it way too white. Someone needs to give it some color. Also I don t care for the driftwood. It doesn t look good with the rest of the house. I love that view though. I would spend a lot of time sitting outside on a nice and sunny day.
I admire the idea of the kitchen, just too much of it. That setting on the dock was stupendous. But I kept thinking how it s all going to be under water in a few decades. I wonder who is buying this stuff?
The outside is spectacular, as is that last photo with the turquoise adirondacks. I love the landscaping! I do not like the decorating. At all. I have always wondered what happened to her husband who went missing. So sad for her.
I ve followed her career for years and have been a fan since the 70s. I remember her first home in Malibu a full-scale ranch. That was my favorite thailandtravel packages of all of her homes and seemed to fit her. I think Sally Field owned this home later (?) I d have bought that one from her if I could have LOL! This home is beautiful in its own way too. That decor could easily fit a Calif. coastal home and in fact looks more Calif rustic than Florida tropic to me. I definitely see touches of Malibu thailandtravel packages here. Some bright-colored throws, thailandtravel packages pillows, etc. would spice it up.
This is a beautiful home. Very sunny and warm exterior, with a cool and casual interior. The photos of her previous homes have had similar decor, with the same white walls and ceilings. I recognize her piano and hooked rugs from the other homes she s owned. thailandtravel packages Also the small white sofa in the kitchen area. Maybe the more rustic and Polynesian influences thailandtravel packages reflect her husbands tastes? Regardless, it looks as though they ve managed to blend both the femine and masculine pieces, perfectly! It s a very comfortable and lovely looking home.
I live in the town where this house is and we ve gone by it more times than I can count when boating in the intracoastal (which the house backs up to that lovely dock view you see in the last picture). Local rumor has it that Rosie O Donnell has expressed interest in buying the home but so far nothing thailandtravel packages has come of it.
In more unfortunate news, one of the men who helped with the carpentry/renovations of Olivia Newton John s Jupiter home these past few years recently took his own life IN THE HOUSE while no one was home. Very sad.
