Attention all Sopranos fans! Have you ever dreamed of living in the iconic home from the hit series? Well, now you have the chance, if you happen to have an extra $579,000 lying around. That's right, the property that served as the home of Uncle Junior is now on the market and could be yours.
This stunning home, featured in the early noughties drama, boasts four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a bright blue kitchen. Fans will recognize it as the place where Tony Soprano famously dug up the garden in search of $40,000. While the show may have listed the address as Watsessing Avenue in Belleville, the actual location is in Newark's Forest Hill area in New Jersey.
Built in 1927, this home offers nearly 3,000 square feet of living space, a driveway for two cars, and a garage. It was last sold in 2019 for $420,000 and the new owner can expect to pay $13,096 in annual taxes. But, for diehard fans of the show, it's a small price to pay for a piece of television history.
This home was a prominent feature throughout all six seasons of The Sopranos, which originally aired from 1999 to 2007. It was the residence of Uncle Junior during his house arrest and was also the focus of the season six opener, "Members Only," where Tony dug up the garden in search of his uncle's lost money from 30 years ago.
But the Sopranos' home is not the only filming location up for sale at a high price. Earlier this year, the booth used in the show's controversial final scene sparked a bidding war and sold for $82,600 on eBay. This booth, situated in Holsten's restaurant in Bloomfield, New Jersey, was where the Soprano family gathered for a tense dinner before the screen famously cut to black.
For fans, owning a piece of The Sopranos is a once in a lifetime opportunity. The listing for the booth read: "This is your once in a lifetime chance to own the ORIGINAL booth that the Soprano Family sat in for the final scene of the famous show!" The booth even comes with a plaque that reads "Reserved for the Sopranos Family." However, the jukebox featured in the show is not included in the sale.
If you're interested in buying the booth, be prepared to pick it up yourself, as shipping is at the buyer's own risk and expense. But, for many fans, the chance to own such a significant piece of television history is worth the effort.
So, if you're a diehard Sopranos fan and have the means to do so, don't miss out on the opportunity to own the iconic home or booth from the show. The Sopranos may have ended in 2007, but its legacy lives on, both in our hearts and now, possibly, in our homes.
