“Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Melissa Gorga decided to take another crack at selling her mixed European country house this summer. The relist price, tweaked heavily to charm, is $2,948,888. Gorga has had the property on and off the open market for over eight years now, according to records; it was initially offered at $3.8 million.
The home’s exterior cuts a fine figure as an aristocratic Northeast residence, with hipped roofs, towering chimneys, a turret with tower windows, and a drive-through portico illuminated by torch sconces.
The roughly 10,000 square feet of interior living space begins with an incredibly grandiose foyer: plentiful marble throughout, with a double staircase, an eyebrow ceiling flourish with gilt accents, and of course a crystal chandelier. From that point, the home develops as an extravagant mansion, with no classical amenity left out. A billiards room, a home theater, a full-size wet bar, and a gym are on the list.
The lot extends to 2.23 acres, plenty of space to incorporate expansive lawns, a pool, and a raised patio amid the well-groomed upscale East Coast landscaping.
