Private Quarters
Sandra Bullock is selling her Tybee Island beach house
April 8, 2019
There is no mysterious mailbox, like in “The Lake House,” but there is a private beach entrance.
There are also seven bedrooms, a gourmet kitchen and a basketball court.
And you can tell people Sandra Bullock once slept there.
The Oscar-winning actress has put her Tybee Island estate on the market, and it can be yours for just $6.5 million.
