The former childhood home of former U.S. President Donald Trump sold for $1.93 million, according to real‑estate listings that appeared on Friday. The Tudor‑style property in Jamaica Estates, Queens, was purchased by an unnamed buyer who entered into a contract in July. The buyer is an entity called Trump Birth Home LLC.
Trump lived in the house until age four. The home was built in 1940 by his father, developer Fred Trump, and sits in an affluent Queens neighborhood. Trump later built Trump Tower in Manhattan and used his real‑estate wealth to launch a political career.
Developer Tommy Lin acquired the five‑bedroom, three‑bathroom house last year for $835,000 after it had sat vacant and neglected. He invested an additional $500,000 in an eight‑month interior overhaul that added a chef’s kitchen, herringbone wood floors, and spa‑like bathrooms, according to the New York Post.
The property had changed hands several times, selling for $2.14 million in 2017 and again in 2019 with a $2.9 million asking price that went unsold until Lin’s purchase. A brief Airbnb listing featured life‑size cardboard cutouts of Trump, copies of his book The Art of the Deal, and a framed People magazine cover. The house had suffered water damage, mold from a burst pipe, and a colony of feral cats before the renovation.
