The mansion with 42 rooms is the most expensive home in the entire Bergen County. In 2009, Forbes Magazine had declared Alpine as the most expensive zip code in New Jersey. It is an ultra rich village that boasts of celebrity residents like CC Sabathia, Jonas Brothers and Eddie Murphy. The mansion is built on the Frick land on a gated street.
The 30,300 square feet mansion features 12 bedrooms, 15 full bathrooms, an indoor basketball court, and tennis court, pool house, Movie Theater and a ballroom.
