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.
