After being postponed last month, the waterfront condo where actor Kevin Spacey once lived is hitting auction Thursday morning.
The suggested opening bid for the property, an over 9,000-square-foot abode in the Baltimore Inner Harbor development of Pier Homes At Harborview, is $1.5 million with an initial deposit of $100,000. The public auction, scheduled for 9:15 a.m., will take place outside of the Clarence M. Mitchell Jr. Courthouse at 100 N. Calvert St. There will be no online bidding, according to the listing posted by Alex Cooper Auctioneers, based in Towson.
The foreclosure sale of the condo was approved by a Baltimore Circuit Court judge last year. The two-unit dwelling was last sold in 2017 for more than $5.6 million to Clear Toaster LLC. Around that time, Spacey’s friend and manager Evan Lowenstein told The Baltimore Sun that it was he — not the “House of Cards” star — who purchased the home. More recently, Spacey claimed the address as his own in court documents.
Lowenstein and Spacey could not immediately be reached for comment.
During a June episode of “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” the British TV personality’s YouTube talk show, the Oscar-winning actor said his Baltimore home was going to auction and that he had to put his belongings in storage.
“I can’t pay the bills that I owe,” Spacey told Morgan, detailing how he is millions of dollars in debt from legal bills related to several lawsuits the actor has been fighting over allegations of sexual misconduct in the U.S. and in Britain.
In 2022, a New York jury cleared Spacey of misconduct against actor Anthony Rapp in a $40 million civil lawsuit. The following year, a London jury acquitted Spacey of sexual assault in a lawsuit brought by four men. His legal battles have continued this year.
Spacey’s five-floor Baltimore condo was anticipated to go up for auction in mid-June before it was postponed.
The abode has six bedrooms, seven full baths and three half-baths, plus an elevator, sauna, home theater, rooftop terrace, verandas and a garage for four cars. It will be sold in “as is” condition, the auction listing states.
