Inside John Travolta's Stunning Home In Maine

Writer Isabella Bartlett

For anyone with children, grandchildren, or just a well-developed sense of whimsy, the pièce de résistance of the entire property has got to be the home's third floor. According to Sotheby's listing, this has been transformed in its entirety into "a magical children's space." It's got one of those scarce bathrooms, plus its own [body-free] library, schoolhouse and diner as well as plenty of play equipment. There's even a "built-in stage with props for endless entertainment," just perfect for budding thespians. The bedrooms are almost Disney resort-like: there are four of them, each with its own theme. Architectural Digest describes three of these, a princess room, a Peter Pan room, and an airplane room. The last theme was only to be expected considering Travolta's well-known affinity for flying.

Although John Travolta and Kelly Preston had just one child at the time they did their decorating, baby Jett would eventually be joined by siblings Ella and Benjamin. (Tragically, Jett never met his little brother, having passed away before his youngest sibling's birth). You can only imagine how much fun the kids had in what their dad once called a "children's fantasy-land!" While it's sad that the time has come for Travolta to move on, it's to be hoped that his magical Maine home will soon be enchanting a new generation of residents.
