If you loved the Tudor-style New Jersey castle we covered recently, you’ll love this maximalist NJ mansion listed for a cool $15,088,000 just outside Manhattan. It’s a stark departure from the sleek design style of the Catskills castle and Westchester mansion we showed you last week.
“The most sought-after, influential and premier address in Alpine,” begins the listing for 12 The Esplanade in Alpine, New Jersey, a swanky New York City suburb located just minutes from the George Washington Bridge. “This estate home showcases amazing outdoor amenities including a pool, cabana, sports court, bocce court and outdoor living with an oversized BBQ.”

“With seven bedrooms, eight full baths and two powder rooms, it’s perfect for large families and guests.”
And when we say no detail was spared, we mean it. Each bedroom is dripping in gilded details, hand-carved wooden features, textured wallpapers, custom tray ceilings and crown moldings galore.
It takes maximalism to a whole new level because several design styles have all been folded into a single property. Classic Greek columns, Tuscan tile, French countryside prints and Georgian English manor furnishings are all somehow folded into the bedroom spaces. It’s almost overwhelming.
“The ultra-sleek stainless steel gourmet kitchen features luxury appliances and a banquette with beautiful windows that overlook the well-landscaped property.”
It’s one part Tuscan paradise, one part Mob Wives fantasy—and we can’t get enough.
We do love this timeless breakfast nook—banquette seating is always a win and this is certainly a light, bright room that looks fun to share a meal in.
Speaking of property, two-acre lots in Bergen County are nearly unheard of and with this home’s massive garden it’s the perfect place to throw over-the-top parties, family weddings and corporate functions.
It’s the communal spaces and entryways we’re most in love with, though. Look at the wrought-iron detailing, imported marble, soaring ceilings and light-filled corridors. Dreamy!
“With one of the largest home theaters in Bergen County, this room can seat up to 30 or accommodate a party for up to 100+ guests. The home theater screen is 25 feet and amazing for a Super Bowl party!”
Just look at the ceilings! The velvet furniture! The rich, deep wood!
“For an intimate setting, the cozy library and wine bar area is perfect for an Aspen-like day. With high ceilings,at least five fireplaces, a three-car garage, a generator and property surveillance, this powerful home is truly a one-of-a-kind.”
Central air, natural gas and electric inputs, gorgeous hardwood and marble flooring and exceptional safety make this maximalist mansion a winner—even with the massive price tag.
And if you though the tour of European decor styles was plenty for your senses—there’s more. Select rooms have loads of Japanese wallpaper, porcelain figurines of geishas and hand-painted Italian cabinetry working in unison.
Most furnishings are negotiable if you’re into eclectic mansion designs and maximalist rooms. Or you could redecorate—the land and bones of this house are worth a fortune on their own.
