You can now own a piece of Sopranos history, provided you don’t mind moving to New Jersey.
The Newark homestead which served as the house of Uncle Junior (Dominic Chianese) in multiple seasons of HBO’s acclaimed mob drama is now on sale. It last sold in 2019 for $420,000 and was listed last year for $584K, but it’s now back on the market for a slightly reduced $579K.
The corner-lot Colonial was built in 1927 and comes equipped with four bedrooms, three full bathrooms as well as a partial washroom, an updated kitchen and dining area, and a two-car garage.
The interior and exterior of the house featured prominently throughout The Sopranos’ run, most notably in the first episode of season six entitled “Members Only.” In that episode, Tony desperately digs holes throughout the front yard looking for money a dementia-addled Uncle Junior insists he buried there.
Later in the same episode, Junior shoots Tony after mistaking him for an intruder. The scene is set in the home’s kitchen, which now boasts a radically different color palette.
Those seriously interested in purchasing the property may contact Christie’s International Real Estate.
In March, The Sopranos similarly made headlines when Holsten’s Ice Cream — the location of the famously divisive finale — auctioned off the booth from the last shot. A mystery buyer picked it up for a cool $82,600.
