David Cassidy's Lauderdale Estate Hits Auction Block

FT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) - The multi-million dollar waterfront estate of former "The Partridge Family" star David Cassidy hits the auction block on Tuesday.

The auction was ordered by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court Southern District of Florida.

The 6,400 sq. ft. home features six bedrooms and bathrooms. Other amenities include a magnificent chef's kitchen, custom wood floors, a resort-style swimming pool with outdoor gazebo and 131+/- feet of waterfront with a dock and boat lift. The pianos and guitars displayed throughout his home won't be included in the auction.

While there is no minimum bid, the property will be sold to the highest bidder pending the U.S. Bankruptcy Court's final approval.

Cassidy, 65, bought the house in the ritzy Fort Lauderdale neighborhood in 2001 for $1.1 million, and he estimates he spent about $1 million more in renovations.

Over the last few years, he's hit some sour chords.

Aside from declaring bankruptcy in February, the former teen heart-throb was sentenced to a $900 fine and community service last spring for a 2013 drunken-driving charge in upstate New York.

Last year, Cassidy's wife filed for divorce after 23 years of marriage, and he entered alcohol rehabilitation after being charged with driving while intoxicated in Los Angeles in 2014.

Cassidy also had his license suspended for six months after pleading no contest to driving under the influence in Florida in 2011.
