She is ready to leave the past behind: hoping to attract a buyer, “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Teresa Giudice cut the price of her New Jersey mansion from $ 2.5 million to just under $ 2.25 million.
The six-bedroom, five-and-a-half “RHONJ” star mansion spans 10,000 square feet and occupies 3.7 acres in northern NJ, according to the list. The price cut comes as the divorcee passes her two-decade marriage, sharing photos with her new boyfriend, Digital Media Solutions co-founder Luis Ruelas, 46, on Instagram.
A tower-shaped entrance and Juliet’s balcony create a majestic exterior for the palatial home in Montville Township, NJ. The interior of the front door has carved wings like handles, opening onto a black marble floor and a two-story foyer with a Cinderella staircase, a large chandelier and vaulted ceilings, listing photos.
The stone and stucco house has a formal dining room with a hand-carved fireplace, a large two-story room with a wood-burning fireplace, a wine cellar and an office. Classic Italian touches are prevalent throughout the house – for example, a bathroom has the inscription “bagno”, which means “bathroom” in Italian.
The owner’s huge suite has high vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, closet, three closets and an opulent bathroom with onyx tiles and Greek pillars, according to Realtor.com.
How appropriate for the author of the successful cookbook “Fabulicious!” Giudice’s kitchen is decorated with stainless steel appliances and a butler’s pantry. It has marble countertops, detailed crown molding, white cabinets, a wine cooler, a farmhouse sink and two stoves and ovens. Attached is a second dining room with spiral pillars against the windows.
The backyard has a covered patio, a newly added heated pool and a terraced landscape, according to a previous report by Realtor.com.
Giudice, 48, and her ex-husband Joe Giudice, 48, raised their four children at home until 2015, when the couple was convicted and finally arrested for bankruptcy fraud, conspiracy to commit mail fraud, electronic fraud and non-payment of taxes . Joe was deported to Italy, causing the couple to give up and end their divorce, Page Six previously reported.
The now divided couple bought the property for $ 530,000 in 2002 and built the house to order, which was completed in 2008. Teresa renovated the house in July 2020, throwing away her ex’s dark decor preferences, which included heavy curtains, dark colors and old-fashioned furniture, according to E! – but apparently it wasn’t enough to free her from memories, and she put the house up for sale in September 2020.
“[Teresa] it was like, ‘My house needs a lot of work, it’s dark, it’s full of old Italian things, Joe is gone … I need to feel lighter in this house.’ It’s a huge house, everything was doomed and gloomy and dark, and she had memories of a lot of things and she just wanted to light it up, “said interior designer Jimmy DeLaurentis to E. She also said that the house” is very for maintenance. “
The next season of “RHONJ” starts next month on February 17th and will feature Giudice’s journey to sell her home and “create a new life” for her and her four daughters, Gia, 19, Gabriella, 16, Milânia, 15, and Audriana, 11, according to Bravo.
It is not clear whether Giudice, whose net worth is said to be $ 11 million, is buying a new home or whether she is moving in with her boyfriend, who lives in Allendale, New Jersey, half an hour north of his old homes.
Listing agent Joshua Baris of Coldwell Banker Realty in Fort Lee, NJ, and a Giudice representative did not respond to requests for comment from The Post.
