LIVINGJohn Travolta Lists Longtime 20+ Bedroom Maine Getaway For $5 Million — Tour His Former Family Home With Late Kelly Preston
We've got chills and they're multiplying after seeing John Travolta's stunning Maine getaway. The Grease actor put his longtime family home on the market — with the help of Brian Wickenden from Legacy Properties Sotheby's International Realty — for $5,000,000.
Travolta, 67, and late wife Kelly Preston designed the home together in 1991. However, the 56-year-old is ready to bid farewell to the lovebirds' abode after Preston died of cancer last year.
At the time of their extreme home makeover, Preston was pregnant with their first child, Jett — who tragically died at 16 of a seizure in 2009. The actors transformed the entire third floor into a “magical children’s space,” which included a princess room, an airplane room, a Peter Pan room, a schoolhouse, a library, a diner and a performing stage, Architectural Digest reported.
“It was madness — but so much fun,” Preston told the outlet in 1999, after they successfully transformed their “spooky,” “dark” and “somber” historic house into the ultimate holiday home for their 55-person family.

The remarkable 48 acre property is located on the north end of Islesboro island and includes open fields with ocean views, walking paths through the woods and down to the shorefront, beach access and more.
Natural light seeps into the oversized and colorful living room. The home is ideal for entertaining, as this room alone offers a dining room table and multiple sitting areas.
The charming kitchen, with views of the backyard and two islands, boasts a walk in refrigerator and fabulous pantry area.
While the formal dining room may not be able to host all 55 members, there is definitely enough room in the eclectic house for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners with the family.
Apart from the enchanting master suite, which has its own private sun porch, the home includes 19 other bedrooms and seven bathrooms.
The master bathrooms includes a claw foot tub and separate shower.
The classic shingle style home is perfectly designed to accommodate friends and family. Whether it be overnight stays or celebratory events, Travolta and Preston's estate is ideal for any and all gatherings.
The incredible home is complete with a third floor that has four uniquely designed rooms, which the couple created prior the arrival of their first child.
Apart from endless opportunities for indoor entertainment, the property offers two large sun porches and a sunny back deck that overlooks the magnificent swimming pool.
