Mob house from ‘The Sopranos’ is up for sale in NJ

If you’re both looking for a home and you’re also a fan of “The Sopranos” this is a great day to be you.

The Jersey-centric mob hit had quite a turning point in season 6 episode 1 when Tony Soprano ends up being shot by Uncle Junior who was falling deeper into dementia. That happened right in Junior’s home on Watseeing Avenue in Belleville.

Except in real life the home is in Newark in the Forest Hills section at 380 Highland Avenue.

Fans may remember the clearest view of the home from the outside when Junior’s faulty memory had Tony digging up the yard in vain for $40,000 Junior swore was buried there.

At one point in the scene a neighbor looks suspiciously over and Tony says, “Moles. They chew into your sprinklers, too?”

Later in the cliffhanger episode Junior comes downstairs while Tony was cooking pasta and from near the bottom of the steps sees Tony as a long ago enemy and fires a bullet in his abdomen.

The demented Junior scurries back upstairs to hide in a closet while downstairs Tony fights for his life in an epic battle to get 911 dialed on the kitchen wall phone.

That turning point in the series led to those surreal between worlds episodes involving Kevin Finnerty.

So that very home where Uncle Junior lived in the hit HBO series is once again up for sale. It was last sold in 2019 for $420,000.

Now it’s been listed by Christie's International Real Estate agents Maikol Puebla and Licelys Olmo for $579,900.

Talk about being in the room where it happened! Imagine living here.

Even without the fan fascination of “The Sopranos” it’s still a solid purchase. This is a four-bedroom home in the historic Forest Hills section of Newark.

It features hardwood floors throughout and almost 3,000 square feet of living space. Even its basement is finished off into several separate usable rooms.

It’s for sale with an asking price of $579,900.

Let’s take a look inside Uncle Junior’s home.

Tell me this isn’t the American dream.

Wouldn’t this have been right about where the shooting happened?

A unique kitchen, now with blue cabinets, and we don’t see a wall phone any longer.

I wonder if that’s the closet Junior hid inside.

But let’s get serious. This is a spacious and gorgeous home even without the fandom.

Even finished attic rooms that I would dream of turning into an office or man cave.

And a basement turned into a fresh living space as well.

Imagine this beauty decorated for the holidays.

And the parties you could throw.

And the entertaining you could do.

Again, this gorgeous home at 380 Highland Avenue in Newark’s prestigious Forest Hills section is asking $579,900 and you can contact Maikol Puebla or Licelys Olmo  at Christie’s International Real Estate.

Hey, maybe you’ll even find Junior’s $40,000 buried in the yard towards your down payment.
