Reality TV stars, coping with actual reality, to part ways with NJ homes

MTV’s wildly popular “Jersey Shore” is preparing to return to the small screen just in time for summer, but one of the stars of the reality television show is also now getting ready to part ways with her Toms River home, the Asbury Park Press reported. Jenni “JWoww” Farley is looking to sell her six-bedroom, six-bathroom home at 2284 Clover Hill Lane for $1.45 million amid her divorce from husband Roger Mathews. The acrimonious split between the couple, who have two young children, has left the home vacant. Property records show that Farley bought the property for $685,000 in April 2011. The home’s Zillow listing notes that it was initially put on the market for $1.59 million in December 2017, but removed shortly thereafter. Listing agent Justin Leach of Keller Williams Preferred Properties/Coastal Real Estate Group told the APP that Farley’s fame was not a factor in pricing the 5,200-square-foot property, which has a heated saltwater pool, a gym and, of course, a tanning bed. Farley is not the only notable Garden State resident seeking to shed personal real estate. Bravo noted this week that former “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Jacqueline Laurita and her husband, Chris, were moving out of their Bergen County mansion at 322 Water View Drive in Franklin Lakes amid foreclosure proceedings. Property records show the Lauritas paid $1.72 million for the property in 2001. People also reported on Marty Caffrey, the ex-husband of RHONJ star Danielle Staub, listing their former six-bedroom, eight-bathroom home at 340 Lewelen Circle in Englewood this month for nearly $2.2 million. Frances Aaron of Prominent Properties Sotheby’s International Realty has the listing. [APP] — Brian Baxter
