When she's not on The View, Whoopi Goldberg loves to unwind at her stunning $2.8 million mansion in New Jersey, which she purchased over a decade ago.

Originally built in 1927, Whoopi's Colonial-style property is steeped in history. 

Equipped with plenty of space, Whoopi's home has eight bedrooms and seven bathrooms to hand – perfect for having guests stay over. Keep reading for all the details on her unbelievable property!

Speaking to the New York Times in 2022, Whoopi revealed that her passion for artwork stems from a fortuitous meeting with Hollywood legend Elizabeth Taylor in 1985. “A lot of what you see here is because of Elizabeth Taylor,” explained the TV star. “I am sort of eclectic.
