Olivia Newton-John’s Florida Mansion What was once singer  Olivia NewtonJohn’s  personal  Xanadu  has become a heartbreaker. Two years after  deciding to sell her house in Jupiter, FL, Newton-John still hasn’t found a buyer. With an asking price of only for $5.5 million the property has been reduced from the original price of $6.2 million.  Potential buyers may be turned off by the  horrible  suicide  on the property months after the house was put on the market. Several reports indicate that actress and TV show host Rosie O’Donnell  had planned to buy the house for $5.6 million but withdrew after the suicide. In order to alleviate any fears of bad mojo, Newton-John had an exorcism performed on the property, according to the  Daily Mail. The 5,500-square-foot house sits on the shore of the Indian River, and it has a dock that can support a 50-foot boat. You’re only minutes away from Juno Beach and the Atlantic Ocean. You can’t help but notice that this house is bright, reflecting Florida’s sunny climate. The exterior is painted a pastel peach colour, while the interior is a bright white from floor to ceiling, which works with the natural light to illuminate the rooms. Still Awaits a Buyer After Two Years The living room is inviting, with a vaulted ceiling, a wall of windows, and French doors that brighten the room. Walk through the adjacent dining area and you’ll find yourself in the kitchen that features a bar and cabinets made with driftwood which exude a rustic charm. A small sitting area is next to the kitchen; you can use it as a family room or a breakfast nook. There’s also a full bar, again  made from driftwood. The master bedroom upstairs has a balcony and a wonderful sitting area with bay windows and a view of the river. And you’ll love all the storage space in the dressing room.
