The Daily Mail in the U.K. calls this 25,000-square-foot estate "The incredible $19 million New Jersey mansion with a swimming pool in the living room," and although listing agent Michael Graves calls that characterization an exaggeration -- because, after all, the house has a separate living room -- it's certainly safe to say that the indoor watering hole is a focal point.

Graves likens the estate to a palace, and here at Yahoo! Homes, we think the pool bears a passing resemblance to a similar feature at California's world-famous Hearst Castle. Check out our blog, Spaces, for a photographic comparison and more details to judge for yourself.
