The super impressive, celeb-worthy home that was once owned by *NSYNC star Joey Fatone is up for sale. The Florida mansion is on the market for $7.9 million.
“Fatone, 49, purchased the sprawling 10,000-square-foot Orlando dwelling for $2.65 million in August 2001, when he and his bandmates—Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, and Chris Kirkpatrick—were at the height of their fame,” according to Realtor.com.
“He is then understood to have carried out a wave of upgrades in and around the property, customizing it to suit his every need, adding a slew of unique features, with a previous listing noting that it was ‘meticulously designed to embody the extravagant vision of a renowned celebrity singer,'” per Realtor.com.
However, Realtor.com also notes that in 2011, “nine years after *NSYNC went on a sudden hiatus that left him without a steady income stream,” he “auction[ed] off the property for just over half of his original asking price.”
Fatone’s Former Mansion Is More than a Little Impressive
Built in 1999, the Florida mansion offers owners five bedrooms and six bathrooms.
“The main residence was custom-designed by [Fatone] with advanced soundproofing, and includes a home theater, office, formal living room, and five ensuite bedrooms,” according to the listing from realtor Autumn Makin.
“The primary suite on the first floor features a 900-square-foot bedroom and a 1,000-square-foot spa-style bathroom, equipped with a Finnish dry sauna and steam sauna imported from Finland,” the listing notes. “The primary suite also includes an 800-square-foot walk-in closet (the original owners were actors with extensive wardrobe collections).”
The listing explains that “[t]he second floor is dedicated to entertainment, featuring a full bar, billiards room, two blackjack tables, and casino-style gaming areas. An elevator connects the first and second floors for convenient access.”
The Home Boasts Amenities that Are No Longer Permitted
The outside of the home is just as impressive as what you find inside. For instance, the listing points out that “[t]he estate features a private helicopter landing pad in the courtyard (new helipads are no longer approved by the government); a private water slide (no longer permitted for private residences); and an in-home Japanese teppanyaki grill (now restricted to commercial-use properties only).”
That’s not to mention “a tropical rainforest-style elevated private garden, and a lakefront private dock (also no longer approved under current government regulations),” and “an 18-foot-deep diving pool (a depth no longer approved for private pools),” per the listing.
The swimming pool is actually made up of three sections, the listing explains, “a 1-foot-deep splash area, [the] 18-foot-deep diving pool, and a 5-foot-deep standard swimming area.”
If the potential new owners are into sports, “the estate offers an international competition-standard tennis court and a regulation-size basketball court,” the listing adds.
For driving enthusiasts, the listing points out that “[t]here are 12 indoor parking spaces, including a 6-car climate-controlled showroom gallery designed for car collectors, complete with a rotating display platform and professional lighting for vehicle exhibitions.”
