According to the Palm Beach Post:
Olivia Newton-John and JohnEasterling earlier this month signed on the dotted line, and wrote a check for $4.1 million without needing a mortgage broker, for a property in the tiny community in the shadow of the famous Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse.
According to property records, the couple’s 1997 Intracoastal home covers about 7,000 square feet, with four bedrooms and four bathrooms, and a dock.
They bought from the town’s third-term mayor, John Zuccarelli.
“As the mayor, we’re very happy to have them,” Zuccarelli said. “Everyone who’s met them, including the neighbors, has been impressed with how nice they are. We welcome them with open arms.”
The Aussie actress and Easterling, a modern day adventurer, were hitched on the beach in Jupiter last year, and have been searching high and low of their dream home while staying in Easterling’s cramped home in Tequesta.
“I always made sure this house was a little different from the rest,” Zuccarelli said. “I made it comfortable without making it look ostentatious. It’s a wide open floor plan that’s dog friendly. It’s got a tin roof and with the blue color on the outside, it looks a lot like a Key West home.”
And Hizzoner, 55, made a couple of bucks, too. He bought the place in 1995 for $730,000 and had it rebuilt.
Newton-John joins other celebs within a two-mile radius, including Nashville stars Alan Jackson. Deceased country icon Tammy Wynette and the passed-on crooner Perry Como lived nearby and, until recently, so did former New York Gov. George Pataki.
And a little further north on Jupiter Island, Tiger Woods is building his compound (I hear his mother is assembling a compound in Jupiter) and Greg Norman still has his home on the market...but it has been marked down to $ 47.5 million.
