Mary J. Blige’s $12.3 Million Mansion in New Jersey
The 18,250 square-foot stone and stucco country French manor has 8 bedrooms and 8 baths, billiard room, indoor basketball court, wine tasting room, pool, elevator, spiral staircase, and something called a “learning room.” (What do you suppose that is? A creative way of saying “library”?)
Some of Blige’s neighbors include other hip-hop artists like Wyclef Jean and Ja Rule.

There are 8 bedrooms, including this grand one:

The home features a fitness center that includes a basketball court:

I like the look of this house, I like the fact that it is actually lived in. The kitchen is much nicer. I like the deep dark colors. White gets dirty to quickly. MJF’s looked like a house for sale. I can’t get a feeling from an empty house. Sorry.

Lynn–the MLS listing mentioned that there was a fireplace in the kitchen, too. I was disappointed that they didn’t have a picture of it!

It’s not my style but it’s beautiful. I, too, like MJF’s better but I’ve always loved that style of home.

I could never live in a house like this. I’m always losing small objects. Can you imagine trying to find your car keys? It’d be like ” Which wing were you in when you last saw them? “

That looks more like a ‘don’t touch any thing kids’ kind of
house. You know the house were you spill a glass of
water and your out!

The house is nice in theory but in all practicality it is too can’t walk on the floor for me. Where would I put my harem?
