Dio's "Childhood Home" Up For Sale
The New York property is on sale on eBay right now
A house that claims to be the childhood home of Ronnie James Dio is currently on sale for around $90,000 on the popular auction site.
The listing says:
"Up for sale the childhood home of Ronnie James Dio! This is the house he grew up in, wrote songs in, had parties in, and played in! We bought the house from Ronnie about 3.5 years ago and have enjoyed living there but it is too small for our growing family. I am listing it on EBay in the hopes that a TRUE Dio fan can get this house and enjoy owning a piece or heavy metal history.
"The house has a detached garage (where Dio used to play with his friends and band mates). A fenced in back yard great for BBQ's and a garden behind the garage (where Ronnie told me himself he buried a trunk that we never got around to digging up). I have found an old mic of his and what looks like some spelling test that were pushed into a knot hole in the floor. I have heard many stories from people all over town about going over and listening to Ronnie playing in the garage or going over later in life and partying in the house. If these walls could talk! We have had people come visit the house getting their picture taken out front or by the street sign of Dio Way. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. The roof on the house and the garage need work. But we have replaced the heating system and the hot water heater last year. We also added 10 more inches of insulation in the attic. Happy Bidding and Good Luck!
