Teresa Giudice resides in an over-the-top $3.3 million mansion in New Jersey. Over the years, the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star has shared glimpses of the celestial Montville stone palace modeled after the Thomas Kinkade painting, “Beyond Summer Gate”. Giudice and her husband, Luis Ruelas, live in the artfully designed castle-esque home with her four daughters — Audriana, Milania, Gabriella and Gia — and his two sons from a previous relationship: Nicholas and Louie Jr. “Luis and I built this house to be our sanctuary,” Teresa previously told BravoTV.com of the abode, which features gothic architectural designs and modern interiors. “It’s all about the love, love, love, good energy, and good vibes.” The seven-bedroom, seven-bathroom, three-powder-room home features a gated driveway, a luxurious swimming pool, a movie theater, and a home gym. The grand entryway to the home is detailed with marble flooring, a stunning chandelier and spiral staircase. Teresa has an entire room dedicated to her inner-peace, which she has dubbed her “buddha room” due to the large Buddha statue situated between her plush seating area. She enjoys meditating, journaling and finding her zen in the tranquil space. The reality TV star uses her lavish finished basement for entertainment purposes thanks to a fun rec room with a pool table and the vintage-style home movie theater complete with rows of chairs with cupholders and a snack section featuring a diverse selection of candy. “We love popping popcorn, putting our feet up, relaxing. It’s great you don’t have to leave the house to go to the movie theater,” she told Bravo. Teresa also enjoys working out in her private fitness center where she has a weights station as well as cardio equipment and tons of motivational quotes and photos of her fit frame plastered on the wall. The family’s contemporary kitchen has state-of-the-art appliances, white cabinetry, a black-accented island with stools and gold hardware throughout. “Luis and I love to cook together and I’m all about the black and gold,” she said of the kitchen’s color scheme. She specifically loves using the hot water faucet above her stove which she uses to fill up a large pot of boiling water to cook pasta for her family on Sundays. For more Page Six you love… Teresa also keeps her “Fabulicious!” cookbook on display by the oven so she can easily access it. Teresa utilizes her formal dining room for dinner parties as well as large family gatherings. The room has a long dining table complimented by beautiful French doors that offer views of the backyard. She can also entertain at her home bar room, which is fully stocked with top-shelf liquor like Clase Azul. “In this house we drink a lot of tequila and pineapple. We might do shots when we’re feeling crazy,” she said. A beautiful family room off the kitchen is where Teresa, her husband and the kids like to join together for some TV time. The room has large white couches facing a big-screen TV mounted over a wood-burning fireplace. “I love that if we’re hanging in the kitchen, everyone can just hang out in both the kitchen and family room and it just flows nicely together,” she explained. She also shared a sneak peek on Instagram of her massive walk-in closet where she stores her stylish wardrobe and has shelves stocked with designer shoes. The estate also features a sprawling stone swimming pool with a fountain, a hot tub, and slides. The pool is surrounded by elegant lounging areas and cabanas. “We have our own private resort right in our backyard,” she said. The property also has an outdoor grilling area including refrigerators, barbecues, and an outdoor stone pizza oven. “Luis loves making pizza so we got this mosaic pizza oven custom made,” she told Bravo before showing off the nearby dining table. “We all sit down here and have pizza together. There’s enough seating for everyone,” she said.
