Singer-songwriter Mary J. Blige recently relisted her 42-acre New Jersey estate for $6.8 million. Unfortunately, the Grammy-winning R&B queen is certainly going to sell at a significant loss: she paid $12.3 million for the Saddle River manse in 2008.

Spanning 18,250-square-feet, the expansive mansion features a French Country-style architecture. The exterior is expressed in stone, with a variety of embellishments and window shapes helping to give the home a cohesive period look.

Within, the home boasts many design cues of the French style, including formal period-style trim and crown moldings, and marble and herringbone oak floors. The foyer sets a grand tone, with a staircase rising to a second-floor gallery with an ornate balustrade.

The eight-bedroom home was designed with entertaining in mind; the dining room and kitchen are geared to social events. The bold red kitchen boasts custom cabinetry, two islands, and a breakfast room.

A recreation room, a 14-seat movie theater, a wine cellar/tasting room, and an indoor basketball court are a few of the home’s amenities. The exterior living space features a series of terraces, a swimming pool, and a pool house.
