Travolta selling oceanside mansion with 20 bedrooms

-

The Maine mansion that actor John Travolta shared with his late wife, actor Kelly Preston, has been put up for sale.

The 67-year-old star of “Grease” and “Saturday Night Fever” recently listed the home on Islesboro, an island off the coast of Maine, for $5 million, according to the Portland Press Herald.

The couple bought the home in 1991 as newlyweds and turned it from a “very dark and somber” house into a bright family home for their soon-tobe-born son, Jett, according to a 1999 feature in Architectu­ral Digest. Built in 1903, the 10,830-square-foot home has 20 bedrooms and sits on a 48-acre estate along the ocean.

Preston, who had roles alongside Tom Cruise in “Jerry Maguire” and Arnold Schwarzene­gger in “Twins,” died last year after a two-year battle with breast cancer. She was 57.
