When we say the Chapel Hill mansion was built for a king, we're not kidding. Back in 1928 a religious order set out to construct a home that Jesus Christ could live in when he returned to life. The results? This 15,000-square-foot home that sits on 2.3 acres of land on the highest point in the Bronx (280 feet about sea level).

As you might guess, the intended tenant never moved in, and when the the group disbanded around 1958, it was sold without ever being lived in. Fast forward through a decade-long renovation process conducted by it's current homeowners, Sandra and Jerry Galuten, and you have the elaborate abode that it is today. And even just stepping foot inside will make you feel like royalty.

For starters, they hired the same contractors who painted the ceilings at the Plaza Hotel to gild their own surfaces (which was a four-year-long project). They also bought tile from the same maker used for the Vatican to create their upstairs mosaic. And if you value high-end amenities, you'll be pleased to learn about the four wet bars, walk-in freezer, and home gym. But consider yourself warned: This home comes with a very steep rental price of $35,000 per month (yikes!).
