Jon Bon Jovi Puts Middletown Mansion Up For Sale
Jon Bon Jovi, the famous rocker who once named one of his albums "New Jersey," appears ready to leave it. Here's how much he's asking.

He once called one of his albums "New Jersey." And Jon Bon Jovi, a Sayreville native, has worn that as a badge of honor, often celebrating his roots in the Garden State.
Now Bon Jovi looks like he's ready to "runaway" from his home state.
The rocker has put his home in the Navesink section of Middletown on the market. Christie's International Real Estate has listed the home as something that's "in the heart of Monmouth County, New Jersey, nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Navesink River, and just one-hour outside of New York City," lying in "one of the East Coast's most beautiful and affluent communities."

The asking price? The Asbury Park Press says it's $20 million, though the actual listing says "Price Upon Request."
It's not exactly clear why Bon Jovi is leaving or where he's going, but he does have homes in the Hamptons, Florida and elsewhere. He's held fundraisers at "High Point Estate" for presidential candidates from Al Gore to Barack Obama.

Christie's boasts High Point Estate's "French inspired chateau, magnificently designed by the renowned architect Robert A.M. Stern of New York City."
The main house is an 18,000 square foot stucco and limestone home, detailed with a "double wide entrance driveway, brick courtyards, French balconies, tall and wide mullioned windows, historic and wrought iron ornate accents" and many other features, according to the listing.
The mansion also has a 50-foot living room with 12-foot ceilings, a grand fireplace, intricately painted woodwork, bookshelves and parquet flooring as well as a "custom designed, one-of-a-kind, state-of-the-art Movie Theater," according to the listing.
