ISLESBORO, Maine - The Maine mansion that actor John Travolta shared with his late wife, actor Kelly Preston, has been put up for sale. The couple bought the home in 1991 as newlyweds and turned it from a “very dark and sombre” house into a bright family home for their soon-to-be-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. Travolta told Architectural Digest that he and Preston bought the home after visiting actor Kirstie Alley at her home on the island. Their first son, Jett, died in 2009 after suffering a seizure at the family’s vacation home in the Bahamas.
