Artie Lange selling longtime New Jersey home of 20 years as website shuts down

Real Estate

Artie Lange is saying goodbye to his longtime family home of 20 years as it is revealed his website has shut down, The Post has learned.

The comedian, 55, purchased the Roseland, New Jersey townhome back in 2003 — the year it was built — for $429,000, records show.

Made up of two bedrooms and three baths, Lange transferred the deed of the home to his mother, Judith, and sister, Stacey, in 2021 — while he was completing a drug court program.

The home is where his family spent most of their time during the pandemic, but sources tell The Post the home is no longer a suitable residence for his mom, who’s dealing with health issues.

Currently listed at $679,000, the property is now pending contract and expected to close in the coming weeks.

Located in Roseland Green, the listing describes the home as “low in property taxes,” with community amenities that include a pool, a sports court, tennis, a club house and a playground.

The living room features high ceilings and sliding doors that lead to the deck. The kitchen has a breakfast nook. There is also an unfinished basement.

Meredith Giudice of Coldwell Banker Realty holds the listing.

While Lange parts ways with his Roseland home, he’s still hanging on to his two condo units in Hoboken, which includes his mom’s unit as well. But, according to an insider, the comic is currently living in a studio in Mountainside as he focuses on his health.

Meanwhile, it’s unclear exactly why the comedian’s longstanding website: ArtieQuitter.com — which posted the latest tour dates, sold merchandise and linked to his podcast episodes — shut down.

The Post has reached out to Lange’s reps for comment.

The comic has remained fairly off the grid in the last few years.

Lange, who has been open about his struggles with addiction, announced last July that he had completed an intensive New Jersey drug court program.

“Happy to announce that I’ve completed the NJ drug court program,” he wrote on Twitter. “Thx to my family and friends and fans for all your support.”

The former Howard Stern sidekick spent more than three years in the program after a judge sentenced him to complete it or face jail time.

But since his recovery, Lange has posted only a few sporadic updates to his social media. His last update to fans was back in October, when he tweeted “Thanks everyone” alongside a photo of a Yankees jersey.

In February, his longtime friend Jimmy Palumbo told New Jersey 101.5 that Lange was staying out of the limelight intentionally.

“He’s doing OK. He’s sober. He’s just trying to put it all together right now. Get himself healthy and have a clear mind. And he’s just not really doing anything, any public appearances,” Palumbo said.

“But I do talk to him. I talked to his mother and his sister. And, you know, he’s just kind of put it all together. So, I’m hopeful that soon, you’re going see Artie Lange again. He’s still got a fastball left. I pray for him. I wish him well,” Palumbo added.

Lange, who struggled with addiction issues for decades, has credited his mom and the program for staying sober this time around.

“This time, they kept me away for longer than I ever was,” Lange revealed in a November 2019 interview with Joe Rogan. “I was doing, like, a two-week bid. A week bid in jail,” Lange said. “This time I was in jail for two months, then I kicked, then I went to a long-term rehab. And I got locked away from it.”

“I started to think clearer and think about the consequences, and think about my mom,” Lange admitted. “The fact that my mother is this great Italian woman who, you know, I thought just needed money from me … My old man on his death bed said, ‘Take care of your mother.’ As an Italian guy from New Jersey, you think that means money, it doesn’t mean anything else. So I kept giving her money, not knowing she was worried about me dying all the time. So I thought about her pain and I said, ‘I can’t do this anymore.’”

His legal woes stemmed from an initial 2017 arrest for cocaine and heroin possession.

In May 2019, Stern gave a rare interview with the New York Times Magazine in which he admitted he loves his one-time sidekick but reached a point where he had to let him go.

“What’s happening with Artie makes me very sad. We’ve lost touch, and that’s my doing,” Stern said. “I got my fingers crossed for the guy. And it wasn’t a clean break.”

“It was many years of wanting Artie to get help. I know that a lot of fans want me to talk about Artie and feel it’s a cop-out for me not to. I’ll take that. I don’t want to do anything that would rock his boat,” Stern continued. “I get sad talking about Artie. He was a tremendous contributor. But we had to move on.”
