As seen on Netflix’s hit TV series, House of Cards, Francis and Claire Underwood’s townhome will be up for grabs, starting July 27 with an opening bid of $500,000. While set in Washington, D.C. in the show, the home is, of course, actually located in Baltimore, Maryland.

According to the Alex Cooper Auctioneers, Inc. website, the all-brick Victorian home has been restored and updated over the years since it was constructed in 1880. Inside the 4,600-square-foot home, there are original pocket doors with etched glass, a three-story light well, and six fireplaces, three of which have original Tennesee marble mantles.

At one time, this home was “available” on HotPads as a joke. This auction is the real deal, though. Be sure to get more details on the Alex Cooper Auctioneers, Inc. website here.
