For a mansion to make it onto this page, it really has to have that "wow factor" — palatial property, breathtaking beauty, fabulous features.

I pour over listings and peruse dozens of photos until that special selection catches my eye.

The 7,000-square-foot estate at 3 Linden Drive, Rumson, is one of my favorites — and definitely worth "stepping inside." Here's what comes with the $3.175 million price tag.

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS: The mansion sits on 3.77 acres and includes five bedroom suites and six-and-a-half baths. The first-floor master suite features 10-foot ceilings, a private bluestone terrace, a gas fireplace and luxurious marble bath with a steam shower. The living room, dining room and den have French doors opening to a wraparound terrace overlooking the lush grounds. All other bedrooms have private baths, nine-foot ceilings and hardwood floors. The lower level features a gym and sauna, game room, media room, kitchenette and wood-burning fireplace.

COOKING WITH CLASS: A 38-foot custom open kitchen has built-in cabinetry for an entertainment system, a gas fireplace, chef's workspace and top-of-the-line appliances.

OUTSIDE AMENITIES: Walk outside onto a covered porch overlooking a gunite pool and wood-burning fireplace. The cabana/guest house has a living room, sitting area and three bedrooms, each with a full bath. It also features a two-car garage and basement.
