Inside Real Housewives star Teresa Giudice’s incredible £3m Jersey mansion she nearly lost in court battle
THE Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice has let fans inside her £3million mansion on the hit Bravo show for years.
The 47-year-old and husband Joe tried to sell it for in 2014 following a string of court proceedings.
But luckily for the couple, who have both served federal prison sentences for engaging in bank, mail, wire, and bankruptcy fraud, it's still theirs.
Teresa and Joe, 49, snapped up plot of land back in 2002 for $530,000.
The Chateau-style mega-mansion, which is located in Towaco, New Jersey, boasts an impressive 6 bedrooms and spreads across a staggering 10,044 square feet.
As you walk into the property, the hallway is nothing short of spectacular with double Cinderella staircases.
The gold accents and brown marble floor feature throughout, while a large chandelier dangles above the entrance way.
The gourmet kitchen is the perfect spot for the reality stars to entertain guests, with a large central island, marble work top, high tech appliances and huge dining room table.
And when they're not in the kitchen, the couple can relax in their lavish living area.
Although the grand formal room doesn't get much screen time, it features a huge wood-burning fire, an upstairs balcony overlooking the room, grand piano and a two storey ceiling.
Meanwhile, Teresa and Joe's bedroom is complete with three walk-in closets, a fireplace, a bathroom with a steam shower and a huge soaking bathtub.
Daughters Gia, 18, Gabriella, 15, Milania, 13, and Audriana, 10, also live in style.
Their playroom, which features a mirrored wall, is the ideal spot for the four youngsters to escape family drama.
As well as a leopard seating area and huge television screen, the girls have an array of toys to choose from.

Despite it going under foreclosure due to missed mortgage payments, the family still own the property.
The couple admitted to hiding assets from bankruptcy creditors and submitting phony loan applications in 2014.
Teresa was sentenced to 15 months in a federal prison, while Joe was sentenced to 41 months.
The dad-of-four, who lost at least 40lbs since entering federal prison, was released in March.
Earlier this month, he was freed from ICE custody and is waiting to find out whether he will be able to return to the States after failing to acquire American citizenship.
