The three-bedroom property in the Camden neighborhood of northwest London
had become a shrine of sorts for mourning fans who left flowers and
tributes following Winehouse's death last July from alcohol poisoning.
Chris
Goodman, a spokesman for the Winehouse family, said Thursday that the
singer had loved the house and her family put it on the market because
they felt it would be inappropriate for any of them to live there.
"It
was not practical to keep it empty while paying the costs of its
upkeep," he said in a statement, adding that the family had reached the
decision with "great regret."
The
2,500 square-foot home features three bedrooms — including an
"impressive master suite with vaulted ceiling" — three living rooms and
private front and rear gardens overlooking the tony Camden Square, according to online listing agent Housenetwork.co.uk.
Graham
Lock, spokesman for Housenetwork.co.uk, confirmed that the listing has
generated "a lot of interest" but would not go into detail about how
many inquiries had come in given that the Winehouse family had asked for
discretion.
"There's a lot of
fans getting in touch about it so we're trying to weed out the genuine
interest from people who are just being nosy," he said.
