I've never before considered moving to New Jersey, no matter how many NY Times trend pieces encouraged me to do so—until today. And that's because the legendary Sopranos House—a.k.a. the home Tony Soprano and his family lived in for all 86 episodes of the show's run, give or take the occasional coma or marital spat—is up for sale.
The NY Times reports today that the 5,600-square-foot, four bedroom, four bathroom house (it also has a two-car garage and guest house) has been listed for sale with a "starting price" of $3.4 million. Located at 14 Aspen Drive in North Caldwell, NJ (on the show, the address was 633 Stag Trail Road), the house was used for exterior shots on The Sopranos (think back to all those scenes of Tony in his bathrobe getting the paper at the end of the driveway), and was also used as inspiration for the interiors for the Soprano abode.
In fact, if you look at the photos the Times have—or at the video tour below of it—you'll swear it is the exact same as the show; that's because the interiors of the home were meticulously replicated at Silvercup Studios in Queens.
In case you did a double take at the video above, the owners of the home are Patti and Victor Recchia, who’ve lived there for 32 years—not Tony and Carmela, despite certain physical similarities. They noted that the home is still a very popular spot for fans to come by—there's a whole Facebook page devoted to people snapping pics there, as well as tours of notable Sopranos locations in NJ. The couple told the Times:
“I was pulling out of the driveway and I noticed a few fellas on their motorcycles coming down the cul-de-sac,” said Ms. Recchia, about a recent interaction. “So I open my car window just to acknowledge them, and they say, ‘Hi, Mrs. Soprano! We’re not going to mess anything up, just want to take a couple photos.’”
“They’ll pull up in like a limo or something, get out in a robe, and pick up a newspaper,” said Mr. Recchia, who encountered a father and son who said the photo op was part of a Father’s Day present.
Altogether, the TV crew used the property somewhere between 30 and 50 times over the course of the series. If you're interested and/or are filled with more questions about the property, Recchia is asking qualified bidders to submit offers and proof of funds by June 21st to the email address: [email protected]. It's unclear whether any ducks are included with the purchase, but we can almost guarantee that you may get a visit from a bear (probably Pedals, The Upright Walking Bear). And watch out, we hear there may be a Russian gangster who roams the area.
