He moved there in the 1980s, after the fame train nearly derailed. Austin offered something Los Angeles couldn’t: peace. And a place where people don’t bother you about that one yacht-rock anthem at every party.
He lives in a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood called Tarrytown. It’s fancy, but not flashy. Think leafy streets and old-school charm, not neon lights and paparazzi bushes.
His House Isn’t a Boat, But It’s Cool
Let’s squash the myth right now: his house does not have a “sail” theme. No compass-themed wallpaper. No anchor-shaped doorknobs. It’s just a nice, normal home.
What does he have? A recording studio in the back. He calls it a “shed with good vibes.” Inside, there are Grammys on a shelf, but he insists they’re “good dust collectors.”
Fun fact: he painted his own kitchen cabinets once. He posted it on Twitter. It was very, very beige.
