It’s free to whistle the disco tune of any Bee Gees track – but when it comes to buying the home of a former group member, it costs a lot more than just a song.
On Long Island, a seven-bedroom spread previously owned by Robin Gibb could be $ 12.9 million for you, the listing brokerage told The Post.
Gibb, who died in 2012 at the age of 62 from complications due to cancer and surgery, owned this home in Lloyd Harbor in the 1980s. The iconic band from the 70s also had Gibb’s brothers Barry and Maurice, the latter of whom was his fraternal twins.
The nearly 7-acre distribution, at Mallard Drive 31 in Lloyd Harbor, is called ‘Kenjockety’, which according to the Long Island Press is a Native American term meaning ‘far from noise’. It turns out that Gibb owned it for a short time in the 80’s and sold it to a couple named Paula and Bruce Rice in 1983. The Rices are not the current seller.
Kenjockety dates back to 1926, when Arthur H. Fleming – a lumberjack in the American West – built it for his daughter, Marjorie, as a wedding gift. Fleming typed the architect Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue, who designed the St. Designed Bart’s Church in Park Avenue in downtown Manhattan.
The renovated property on Oyster Bay has seven full bathrooms and three half bathrooms. Images that appear on the list show a large staircase, ceilings with wooden beams, a library with wooden panels, fireplaces, spacious reception areas and a private deep-water harbor with a garden house.
Other amenities include radiant-heated entrance halls, a “Winter Garden” lounge lounge overlooking the gardens and bay, as well as a main suite with a private balcony and a walk-in closet with mahogany cabinets .
The site also contains a renovated one-bedroom house with its own fireplace. Also outside: a built-in swimming pool and a private beachfront of 500 meters.
This is not the first time the house has come on the market. Zillow points out that he previously listed $ 9.95 million in 2016 and raised the price to $ 12.99 million the following year. Since then, it has spent time on and off the market.
Bonnie Williamson and Lauryn Koke of Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty have this list.
