A house in Clearwater with ties to John Travolta recently sold for $4 million, according to property records.

The contemporary waterfront mansion was built in 1988. The 4,346-square-foot house has five bedrooms, five and half bathrooms, an infinity pool and a cabana, according to the listing.

Travolta is one of the most famous parishioners of Scientology, and the property is nearly a five-minute drive from its international headquarters.

It’s not clear whether the actor lived on N Osceola Ave, but records show a trust run by his sister, Ellen Bannon, bought the property in 2017 for $3 million before selling it to Edward Fay for a million more at the end of July. The trust bought the property from Silke Peens, whose address listed on the 2017 deed is the Church of Scientology International in Los Angeles.

The same trust also owns Travolta’s Ocala mansion that contains two airplane hangars.

The Realtor representing the seller, Rafal Wazio from Coldwell Banker Realty, declined to comment.
