    A New Jersey house that was made famous by The Sopranos has been listed for $579,900.

    In the show, the home was famously the residence of Corrado John 'Junior' Soprano Jr., the boss of the DiMeo Crime Family. Dominic Chianese played the role in 55 episodes of the series.

    The four bedroom house appeared in numerous episodes of the hit series, including a memorable cameo in the season six episode Members Only.

    Built in 1927, the stunning yet quaint brick home boasts four bedrooms and four bathrooms.

    It comes after the legendary booth where Tony Soprano sat at with his family in the final scene of the series finale went up for auction.

    Located in Newark, New Jersey, the home boasts a rich wooden interior, an inviting fireplace, and kitchen decked out with a colorful blue cabinetry.

    The tiled bathrooms - complete in pink and yellow colors - provides another charming touch to the home.

    Fans may best remember the home as belonging to Corrado, aka 'Uncle Junior', in the series.

    The home was featured in the season six episode Members Only, where Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) assisted Corrado by digging through the yard in search of cash.

    It's not the first time fans have had the chance to buy memorabilia from the legendary series.

    Last year, Tony Soprano's boat, named the 'The Stugots' in the cult classic series, was listed for $299,900.

    Additionally, the booth where Tony and his family sat at during the final scene of the series finale went up for auction back in March.

    The booth was being auctioned off by Holsten's, the New Jersey ice cream parlor where the scene had been filmed.

    The establishment announced the auction on its official Instagram page, letting customers know that 'the time has come' to part ways with the table and seats used for the show's last scene ever showing Gandolfini (Tony) with fellow castmembers Edie Falco (Carmela) and Robert Iler (A.J.), as they waited for Jamie-Lynn Sigler (Meadow) to join them.

    'All good things sometimes need an upgrade,' Holsten's wrote in a caption, alongside a couple of photos of the booth as it looks today and an image of Gandolfini smiling while sitting at the booth.

    'The famous [Sopranos] booth is getting a much needed face-lift. We are auctioning off the well-endeared booth on eBay starting today,' it read in the Wednesday post.

    'Place your bid on this once in a lifetime chance to personally own "the booth". Check out our listing here. Obviously, we aren't going to change the nostalgia of our beloved shoppe.... we aren't crazy! Just polishing up the place!'

    The social media post announcing the auction also included a note from Holsten’s owners explaining that they 'don't want to do this,' but that ultimately, 'the integrity of the booths are now compromised.'

    'They have been repaired many times and this furniture is over 60 years old,' the owners continued. 'Obviously, we do not want to do this, however it has come to a point where they are structurally not safe anymore as a whole and we need to think about the safety of our patrons first.'

    They concluded the caption: 'Customer safety is a priority for us and should be for our patrons as well.'

    The Sopranos, which aired on HBO for six seasons from 1999 to 2007, is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential television series of all time.

    It's also been credited for helping kickstart the Second Golden Age of Television.

    The series starred Gandolfini as mafia boss Tony and was broadcast on HBO from January 10, 1999, to June 10, 2007.

    Gandolfini sadly died at age 51 of a heart attack in Rome on June 19, 2013.
