Dolly Lenz has seen many houses in her career as Prudential Douglas Elliman's top broker. So when she says that rocker Billy Joel's Centre Island estate is the "truly most amazing, breathtaking house and property I have even seen," that says a lot. Lenz, who is listing Joel's property for $32.5 million, adds that it "beats every Hamptons mansion, beats every Malibu and Bel Air mansion." She goes on in the e-mail: "I was speechless from the setting alone ... The house itself took my breath away." See more photos of the house here.
