Boasting 9,000 square feet, and one of the most expensive homes in the area, the purchase brought concern from viewers who donated money to the organization. The home, with 4 bedrooms and 5 full and 3 half baths and located on 1.12 acres at 138 Blue Water Trail, Salem, South Carolina 29676, was subsequently listed for resale on Realtor.com beginning on 2-16-13 for $5.95 million and then after delistings and relistings on 3-23-15 (Master of Library Science 20152389) for $4.95 million.
In addition to organizing international business projects, Cerullo founded an advertising and public relations firm, a management consulting firm, and a real estate company that developed and constructed hotels, commercial office buildings, single-family home subdivisions, apartments and retail.
