Melissa and Joe Gorga's Custom Built New Jersey Home | Open House TV

We're touring the New Jersey home of Melissa and Joe Gorga from "Real Housewives of New Jersey".
The European inspired design in Montville features exquisite custom details throughout.
We’re talking dual marble stairways, custom tray ceilings, luxurious fireplace mantles and more.
It’s a place the Gorga’s have called home for many years.

This looks like a palace and the ceilings are incredible!!! Joe did a great job! And Melissa, how do you look like this after 3 kids? Your body is amazing! I love how humble you are despite all your success! Bravo to you!

[@Lia-hd7rh]

how does one decide which side of the staircase to take?

[@xoangelicaf0523]

Snow maybe depends on the room you’re going to lol

[@wirelesschick123]

Take the one on the right for positive vibes

[@licensedandinsureda5698]

Snow right=up. Left=down

[@thomascampr]

Snow Right is always up .

[@ceciliavillasenor3411]

It would drive me nuts, hard time deciding🤔

[@happyhour6426]

Beautiful home, but I heard that the Gorgas were over a million dollars in debt. I would much rather have a home that I could afford and sleep comfortably in knowing that I wouldn't lose it.

[@alexandraletzt5469]

I just laughed so hard. Go read famewhorgas blog about how awful Joe and his wife are. He made his parents lose their home and chose a ho for a housewife.

[@reginabillions4382]

The decoration looks fancy. But the fengshui of the house is not so good. As soon as you open the door you see the stairs. It’s the worst fengshui in our Chinese people eyes. The windows,door shape also bad too.

The architecture design is breath-taking, simply impeccable!!! The interior is giving museum life for me, not feeling a whole lot of warmth. To each is their own, so you're owning up to yours with style and grace. I enjoyed watching this for sure. ❤🤗❤

[@Ashnesss]

I don't get why people are complaining about her white sofa set. Some people have well behaved kids who eat on the dinner table and wash their hands after dinner. And kids who are raised in homes with decorated walls and tables are used to it. They don't walk around and break everything! It's called discipline! Their home is a masterpiece!

[@sunshinegirl6854]

I agree. I grew up in a home with nice things. And never was a problem mostly

[@sunshinegirl6854]

it is kids have sticky hands and if spills happens it is expensive to clean or replace it@Wisewoe Tiswell

[@liesascott5414]

I had white sofas from IKEA when my kids were growing up. You teach them some basic manners, have a rule to always eat at the table together and all is well.

[@liesascott5414]

@Wisewoe Tiswell In a big home children have more than enough space to do what ever they want. They don't need to claim every inch of the house. Parents have rights too. It's their house.

[@tanjamiller3321]

I volunteered for a cat and kitten rescue. The woman who ran "the show" LOVED cats but did not have any in her home. She has a heart of gold and would sacrifice her life for animals. All her furniture was WHITE and she didn't want the cats to get hair on the chairs! I asked her, "isn't that why they call is fur-niture?"

[@luisasimona7990]

everyones hating on the house but omg i love this house its so beautiful 😍

[@debrajenkins1655]

Yes, the furniture is not my taste but the house is lovely. Not a fan of the windows but that is a minor issue compared to the rest.

[@sleezer13]

Bottom line to all the haters...even though something may not be your taste you can still admire it for its beauty, craftsmanship and architectural detail... Both the home and Melissa are gorgeous !

[@MitchellWiggs]

There are so many details that you can't even focus on one. There's entirely too much going on in every room.

[@Angle86]

peter paul m sure what she has is what every hater here dream of having if they had money mayb even more extravagant😅 but why admit

[@damien1781]

angel da vinci bitch please I grew up in a million dollar home. Thank god my mother had class and style. She adds to many things from different cultures and time periods to where it looks like a sloppy painting! Stick with one or two themes and stay that way.

[@Angle86]

3000 Wattz million dollar house.. ya right😂😂.. ur very polished in the way you talk.. bitch that shows ur class n taste..

[@Maggs.19]

Did you see the episode on RHONJ where the potential buyers came to do a walk through in the home? The lady tried to turn on a faucet in the bathroom and it was fake! The handle broke off, and the front of the sink was chipboard or some fake material. Every time she touched something in that bathroom, it literally broke. She asked them why the sink was fake and they told her, “ah, it won’t cost anything to replace that.” She also asked why there was no pool since they were asking over 3million for a home in a dead neighborhood that no one wants to live in. Their response, “it don’t need a pool to sell for 3 million.” Fast forward less than a year later... they now have that pool. Lol That house was thrown together with piss poor materials, in hopes to quickly offload it onto some sucker to turn a quick hefty profit. Now they’re stuck with it. Especially after one buyer giving the home back to them, and the other couple pointing out the lack of quality on the show. No one wants it now that they’ve seen what a money pit it would be. Notice the closeup of the paint job in the dining room when Melissa claims everyone wants that color. It is not a crisp clean professional paint job. It was a mess!

[@zingarod.5601]

I normaly don‘t comment, but this is the perfect example of „Nouveau riche“ and that Money do not buy taste.

[@xoangelicaf0523]

Zingaro D. Everyone’s taste is different so money has nothing to do with it

[@gldnkltz101]

I think it's nicely done actually, if a bit too ornate for my tastes.

[@wirelesschick123]

I don’t like it either it looks antique. Reminds me of my grandma’s 👵🏼 house but everyone has a different taste.

[@tricias.2230]

Her home is beautiful.

[@Michelle-jz8vl]

No shade nor jealousy. But, I would never want a home this huge. It’s like a mausoleum. Not comfy. It’s a show and tell.

[@elizabethshanks6909]

I know how could her kids play comfortably? Just wandering!

[@bryangonsalves4282]

Exactly. There's nothing homey or nostalgic about that house. I couldn't imagine raising my kids in a house like that. How could they feel free and be playful and make a mess in a house like that. I feel like their wouldn't be many memories created in a home that you have to tip toe around and not touch or sit on furniture..........it must be boring living in a museum type of environment. But everyones different i guess!!!

[@bibit3856]

Chelsea Bella Gallo I m not hating .... But I find the house to be boring and overwhelming. And tacky. Even Melisa doesn’t like it.

[@invisibleillnessashley8850]

It remind me of a Disney hotel. Pretty to look at it stark and sterile.

[@dreamergirlbaby]

That homes is absolutely gorgeous and I get that she’s going for a luxurious, royal type feel. But with those type of giant mansions you need color. Everything in there is beige and white. It makes it seem not like a family home and “cold.” It has no character

[@ZeRoCoOl102493]

I literally peed my pants laughing with Shannon doing the infomercial sales pitch of that house

[@beverly5886]

I LOVE this home and the way Melissa decorated it! Gaudy? Prince's home in Paisley Park...now THAT's Gaudy!

[@debrahudson6324]

Prince could afford gaudy lassie. He could buy and sell the Gorgas with one tour. You must be really jealous to reach back in time and drag a deceased legend into your hater world. Your lack of character is so obvious.

[@franceskavalier1705]

Love, Love, Love! Melissa's house is exactly like her - very classy! I love everything about it. The colors in her house are gorgeous. I have had my eye on a "closet" jewelry chest like hers, but unfortunately that isn't in my budget. I love how she and Joe are so happy. Bless you, Melissa! Your heart is always in the right place. Keep it there!

​@@Joescoatrose Terrible comment.

[@KempireRadio]

It is the small details that really stand out for me in her home. Love it!

[@TempleOfEve]

Their home is beautiful and they designed it just the way they wanted it. Good on them for not allowing the kids in their adult entertaining room and sitting on the sofas. Kids dont even realise theyve got dirty hands or dirty shoes half the time, and this teaches them to be more conscious and respectful. I love their house, cudos to them for building their dream home

[@AnastasiaPanoutsou]

“Best architectural feature” and “coke bottle shaped windows” in the same breath. Respect.

[@YRS51]

YoYo32071 actually no amount of plastic surgery creates definition on the body like she has. She has muscle tone, that comes from working out. It’s strength training and conditioning, and it’s very hard to achieve.

[@mireillemurengerantwari8109]

JULIA LYNA Lol they never eat. They want to stay on size zero 🤣

[@eyeswideshut2800]

Remember when their bathroom sink came off, I wonder how much is real but I love Melissa and Joe, just a little shade...😎😎😎

[@lindsayarencibia9796]

Honestly the house is beautifully architected. Lots of Roman-theme not everyone's type of styled home but for the right owner it is stunning. I love your great room, as well as the outdoor area. Great job to Melissa for designing, but Joe amazing work on the build.

[@autumnapollonia]

How nice and wow Joe is so talented. I'm so glad they did this tour you can't tell the greatness of the home on the show. Ah-mazing!!!

[@Super1Billionaire]

You did an AMAZING job Melissa(and Joe)! Love it, yes a paradise!

[@zuiilaa]

The detail is amazing. Joe did an amazing job.....not my style but it's pretty and clean.

[@ezequielh9786]

It looks so beautiful but since the realtor came on the show to show the house to potential buyers and the crew captured that the materials were cheap and substitutes this house doesn't seem as grand

[@evandoucet1449]

I remember that. A piece of the vanity in the master bedroom broke off! LOL

[@delljenkins3780]

That was there last home that they sold when they lived next to Theresa and a Joe this is a different home

[@madamezimba1007]

I was just thinking about this. I felt bad for them. The Gorgas aren't my fave (the how and why they came on the show) but still, it was a cringe worthy moment.

[@janussaryjanussary8409]

Stolen money!!!

[@eddieedmondson4746]

I'll just say this as well; Bigger homes, fancy cars and designer clothes will NEVER fill that void in your heart, no matter how hard you try. The only thing that will are your relationships with family and friends. Many a celebrity have thrown millions upon millions to fill it, only to end up dead, heart broken, alcoholic or a drug addict. Treat the people NICE in your life and you will find it the MOST comforting thing in life itself.

[@sashareagh7259]

Eddie Edmondson amen!

[@stlouisluv]

Custom made my ass. That’s why their bathroom sink is made out of damn styrofoam. Yeah I remember that episode when that realtor barely touched it and a huge chunk fell off 😂👋

Am I the only one who hates this place? Not that its not beautiful, it is, but its not livable, I'd feel so uncomfortable

[@tasheenajohnson602]

lexip396able a lot of celebrity homes are like this; like u said it looks nice, but it feels way to much like a model house for me; it’s like one of those situations where u wearing a nice expensive outfit and u don’t want no one touching u or u don’t want to sit down or mess it up, wrinkle it, so much so that it just uncomfortable like u said; it’s the same with this house, if I had something like this I wouldn’t hardly want any one sitting on my expensive furniture or even kids around messing up things 😂 same rules applies to me also, can’t enjoy it.

I couldn't imagine living in a home like this. I know they've worked hard for their money so more power to them. I've always had a MIND struggle with stuff like this bc I genuinely feel like things like this is such a waste. While I understand people can do as they please with their money.. I also feel like they literally could've given an entire country clean water with just *some* of the furniture in that home. I always think about my children and how the mothers must feel in countries like that so helpless and can't even provide clean water. Even me.. While I live comfortable bc we work so hard.. It's nothing like this. I even give as much as I can to the homeless vets in my city and fundraisers. But hey I'm not hating on her.. I'm sure it's wonderful to live this way and she has probably given a lot to others herself. Just thinking even the drapes in that house could buy a homeless person a home to live in. Americans would be *SHOCKED* to know how many thousands of vets from our military walk to streets of my city (ft Bragg)
