Last month on Tuesday 11/23/21, I had a business appointment in Cove Neck, Long Island, N.Y., at a house right next door to BILLY JOEL's former house, the ''Glass House''. When I pulled up to this house, I was doing double takes. I could not believe what I was seeing. Although this being my first visit to this house, something seemed so familiar. The owner has been living here for many, many decades, and in conversation it was revealed that this house was designed by the same architect (John Stedman) and developer as the ''Glass House''. So it had a close resemblance / likeness. The owner allowed me to take pictures while disscussing BILLY JOEL stories, and claims BILLY JOEL and Elizabeth Weber (Billy Joel's wife at the time) actually looked at THIS house before deciding to buy the house next door, which came to be known as the ''Glass House''. Shown below are 'exclusive' ©photos of the house I visited. This house having been designed and built by the same architect and developer as the ''Glass House'' in the early 1960's, looks similar to the ''Glass House''!
