See UES Townhouse Billy Joel Bought In Effort To Win Back Wife

UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — An Upper East Side townhouse once purchased by Billy Joel has hit the market for a lofty sum.

The six-story home at 49 E. 67th St. — between Park and Madison avenues — is listed for $20 million, according to realtor.com. The home features six bedrooms, five bathrooms, an elevator, a pool, six operational fireplaces and has been recently renovated, according to listings.

Joel bought the home in 1981 for his wife Elizabeth Weber, according to public real estate records. The home was then transferred to her name in 1991 and sold in 1997, according to records. Joel and Weber were divorcing at the time, and the house was purchased as a gift with the goal of winning her back, the New York Post first reported.

The firm Douglas Elliman is handling the listing, according to realtor.com.
