The massive mansion from the pilot episode of "Schitt's Creek" is on the market.
It's listed at $11.8 million and located in Toronto, Canada.
The property has 12 bedrooms, ornate columns, and decor inspired by the Sistine Chapel.
If you're shopping for a home in the $11.8 million range, you just might be able to live like "Schitt's Creek" royalty.
The mansion that the Rose family is unceremoniously evicted from in the first episode of the series is on the market in Toronto, Canada.
Johnny Rose, played by Eugene Levy, and his family's troubles began at the house in the opening moments of the series when government agents repossessed all their wealth because of unpaid taxes after Johnny is scammed by a fraudulent ex-employee.
According to Zillow records, the house entered the market at various points since November 2018, most recently this January. Khoren Mardoyan of HomeLife Vision Realty currently has the listing.
