Timberline Lavish, Estate of the Day

When they call this listing in Alpine, New Jersey palace-like they aren't kidding. The six-bedroom home is awash in lavish details and is a world away stylewise from a similarly priced home we recently saw in the area. Heavy on the marble, elaborate wood moldings, gold leaf and heavy chandeliers, this home is new and built for entertaining on a truly grand scale with monumental public rooms. The home also includes a library and media room and the two-acre property includes an inground pool and a three-car garage. It is listed at $13.5 million. After the jump, a formal dining room fit for a king.
