Travolta and Preston described how Alley had led them to the property and the work they put into the home \u2014 when they first renovated the space \u2014 during a 1999 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.architecturaldigest.com\/story\/john-travolta-and-kelly-preston-maine-house\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interview<\/a> with Architectural Digest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKirstie had a big Kennedy-compound-style house on the water and wanted everyone to move there. So we looked at all these blue-blood homes. I loved them but knew they wouldn\u2019t cut it size-wise for my whole family,\u201d Travolta said, explaining that his lifelong dream had been to have enough space to host his 50-person family for Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe said, \u2018Well, there is another,\u2019 and we came to this house. When I saw it, I said to Kirstie, \u2018Why did you withhold this? It\u2019s a fairy-tale house,\u2019\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>Travolta went on to explain that he and Preston had enlisted the help of interior decorator Sister Parish \u2014 who he said was \u201cwonderful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis house has always been a masterpiece, so Sister Parish knew what it was like before\u2014very dark and somber,\u201d he continued, and Preston added, \u201cAlmost spooky. And John and I came in and redid everything\u2014carpets, furniture\u2014in cream and eggshell. If you need to do it quickly, go white.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The couple closed on the 1903 home in September of that year \u2014 and immediately invited 55 family members to spend Christmas with them, dramatically shortening the deadline for having the space livable. \u201cIt was madness \u2014 but so much fun,\u201d Preston said of the marathon redecorating process.<\/p>\n<p>Preston, who was pregnant with son Jett at the time, designed the entire third floor of the home with kids in mind. It included four themed bedrooms, a school room, a library, a stage, and even a diner.<\/p>\n<p>Other features included a private sun porch, a square tower, a fieldstone fireplace in the living room, a walk-in refrigerator, and boat access.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hollywood A-lister John Travolta appears to be having some difficulty with a listing of his own \u2014 a real estate listing, that is.
