The iconic 75-year-old singer, songwriter, and pianist Billy Joel has just listed his sprawling waterfront estate on the north shore of Long Island for $49.9 million.

Joel bought the estate, which he calls "MiddleSea," in Centre Island, a residential village in Oyster Bay, in 2002. The name is a clever play on words. Yes, it's located by the sea, but "Middle C" is also the first note learned by pianists.

It's spread over 76 acres and has 18 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, and four separate homes: the main house (a 20,000-square-foot red-brick mansion shown in the image above), a beach house, a guest house, and a gatehouse.

Also on the grounds are a pool and bowling alley.

Joel, a Bronx native who grew up a bit farther south in Nassau County, in Hicksville, also maintains a Hamptons residence in Sag Harbor.
