Amy Winehouse Home Sells for $3.2 Million
The Camden Square home that Amy Winehouse lived and, tragically, died in has sold for $3.2 million. The home was initially going to be used as the headquarters for the Amy Winehouse Foundation, but her family decided otherwise.
The house was put on the market back in May, with an asking price of $4.3 million, but there were no buyers for the home in which the troubled singer was found dead in July last year. Last month, the home was in the news again when Amy's wedding dress (that she wore when she married Blake Fielder-Civil) was stolen from the property.
It has since gone up for auction with five people bidding for the house. The bidding opened at $2.7 million, with the winning bid coming in at $3.2 million. There was no mention of Amy's name in the bidding brochure, but it was no secret who owned the home. Following Amy's death, it quickly became a shrine to the singer when fans left numerous flowers and gathered at the home to grieve her passing.
What do you think of the decision to sell the home? Would you buy a home if you knew someone famous had passed away there?
