Amy Winehouse's London Home Going Up for Auction

Late songbird's beloved digs to go under the hammer after failing to secure a buyer.

The London residence where Amy Winehouse died can be yours--if the price is right.

After being put up for sale last May and failing to score any takers, the late Grammy-winning singer's Camden Square house will now be auctioned off to the highest bidder at a substantially reduced appraisal.

According to the U.K.'s Camden New Journal, property specialists McHugh &Co., who are handling the sale, plan to start the bidding at $2.8 million. That's quite a far cry from the $4.2 million Winehouse's father, Mitch, was hoping to get for the three-bedroom abode.

Amy Winehouse: London home where singer died up for sale

The home, which was originally set to be the headquarters for the Amy Winehouse Foundation, the charity he set up in her memory, became something of a shrine to the 27-year-old songstress following her death on July 23, 2011.

Per the auction catalogue, the estate consists of "a substantial semi-detached house" which has been "modernized to an exceptionally high standard" and features a video entry phone in the door, a gym and a music room with soundproofed walls.

The family expressed regret over having to sell the property, but the decision was necessary.

"It is empty and costing a fortune to secure it," tweeted Mitch at the time it was put on the market.
