Academy Award-winning actor for his role in Goodfellas, Joe Pesci is selling his Jersey Shore waterfront mansion which has been his home for almost 30 years.Whether as Vinny LaGuardia Gambini, Pesci's character in My Cousin Vinny, or Nicky Santoro, his mob character with animal-killer instincts in Casino, Pesci's skilled sense of timing brings his characters to life in a way that few actors can match. And after a lengthy sabbatical, Pesci makes his return to acting with Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro and Al Pacino in a new film, The Irishman, on Netflix starting Nov. 27. In the meantime Pesci has put his Jersey Shore waterfront home up for sale in Lavallette, NJ for US$6.5 million.

West Point Island

Built in 1990, the 7,200-sq.-ft. contemporary with an Art Deco vibe is located in the West Point Island neighborhood, protected from Atlantic storms on Barnegat Bay and only a short bicycle ride to the beach. Bright, airy and spacious and taking full advantage of the beautiful view, the eight-bedroom, eight-bath home has an open floorplan with large rooms perfect for large parties that spill out to the spacious pool terrace at the water's edge with boat dock beyond. The gated property is completely fenced with a large motor court that can accommodate multiple guests as well as a two-car garage for the owner.Upon entering, a dramatic free-standing curved staircase sets the stage for the living areas. With white rooms filled with light and the backdrop of the bay through floor-to-ceiling windows, the living room with its two seating areas and pianos hint at musical get togethers. The large eat-in kitchen with island is perfect for preparing large meals for dinner guests in the dining room encircled by glass doors opening to the pool terrace and bay. The comfortable media room walls are decorated with posters from Pesci's films and because his first job was as a barber, a barber's chair occupies one corner as a poignant reminder. The upper level, which can also be reached by elevator, contains bedrooms and an office, all with upper terraces and spectacular views. A downstairs party room next to the pool and spa has its own kitchen for entertaining.

Not that Jersey Shore

Many celebrities who were born and raised in New Jersey have homes up and down the Jersey Shore, similar to Pesci. From makeup mogul Bobbi Brown to Jon Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, author Mary Higgins Clark and many more, the shore is awash in glitterati.
