Rocky Balboa's 'House' In 'Rocky II' Is For Sale: The South Philadelphia Home Seller Wants $139,000

The home featured in the Sylvester Stallone film "Rocky II" is now up for sale.

The South Philadelphia home that was home to Rocky Balboa in the 1979 movie is on sale after the woman who lived there died, the Associated Press reported Friday.

Real Estate agent Joe Bianco told the AP that the sole occupant had lived there since the movie's filming, but died recently.

 The 1,036-square-foot row house has three bedrooms and 1 1/2 bathrooms. Bianco said the asking price for the home is $139,000.

Bianco said the house was picked for "Rocky II" because the filmmakers "happened to like the front of the home and knocked on the door."

In the sequel to the Oscar-winning hit "Rocky," the boxer protagonist played by Sylvester Stallone buys the house after he loses a bout to Apollo Creed.

According to The Numbers Retrieved, the 1979 film grossed $200,182,160 at the box office.

"Rocky II" was the first of five sequels to the original. The sixth installment, "Rocky Balboa" hit theatres in 2006.

A video game was also created from the movie and a musical that debuted last year in Germany.
