Joe Pesci Sells Hideous New Jersey Shore Home for $6.5 Million

Academy Award-winning actor Joe Pesci has one of the greatest filmographies of all time. Goodfellas, Casino, Raging Bull, Home Alone, and Lethal Weapon are just a few of the massive hits and critically acclaimed films he’s been in. He never fails to deliver a masterclass in acting when on the screen, while off it, he has remained out of the private eye for the majority of his 60-year career.

But one tidbit we now know about Pesci is his taste in architecture, which is a little off-putting. The 78-year-old thespian recently sold his monstrous waterfront property on the New Jersey Shore, two years after first listing it. Pesci, who bought the home in 1994 for $850,000, managed to offload the interestingly designed abode for a cool $6.5 million, making it one of the most expensive homes in the area.

Built in 1990, the home’s art deco design makes it stand out from the surrounding properties, and not in a good way. The gaudy eight bedroom and 8.5 bathroom mansion covers 7,200 square feet across two levels, with a floating staircase and lift connecting both.

The curve-walled property features predominately white interiors; we’re talking white walls, white carpets, and white tiles. It’s very 80s inspired with numerous skylights and arches, along with large ceiling-to-floor windows offering views of the waterfront. The large open plan setting includes a lounge room with dueling black and white baby grand pianos, a dining with a round marble tabletop capable of seating 12, and a kitchen with built-in china cabinets, a 70-bottle wine rack, and an additional wine cooler.

There’s also a media room chock full of movie posters starring Pesci, a private office, and a party room with a kitchen, while the main bedroom includes a luxury bathroom and a private balcony. Dotted throughout the house are some of Pesci’s most prized possessions, including a barber’s chair in the entryway (his first job was a barber), a Lethal Weapon pinball machine, and a gilded carousel horse.
