If you'd like to own a little bit of mid-century drama, now's your chance.

This Fort Lee, New Jersey, mansion was built and owned by the allegedly mafia-connected Albert Anastasia in the late 1940s and 1950s. After he was killed in a Manhattan barber shop in 1957, the home passed to three subsequent owners, including comedian Buddy Hackett.

It's currently owned by Arthur Imperatore, founder of the NY Waterway ferry service.

Perfect for those who like a little macabre to go with their Hudson River views, the home is going up for auction with Guernsey's on June 8, with bids starting at $5.5 million.
