The Chapel Hill Mansion in Riverdale, N.Y. has hit the market for $13.588 million.

The home, built in 1928, has seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms.

The head of the New York Theological Society commissioned the house for the preparation of the "second coming of Jesus Christ," according to The Real Deal. 

The home would house "the Christian savior once he returned to earth to judge the living and the dead," listing broker Sean McPeak of Prudential Douglas Elliman, told The Real Deal.

The 15,000-square-foot house sits on 2.3 acres of land.

Manhattan College previously owned the property, and had planned to use it as dormitories or a seminary, but is now in the hands of a private owner who is an attorney, The Real Deal reported. 

Welcome to West 253rd Street.

The home features marble floors imported from the Vatican and chandeliers from the Plaza Hotel.

In the foyer and bar area, gold and silver leaf adorn the ceilings.
