Trump childhood home sells for $1.93m after major renovation

Donald Trump’s childhood home has officially changed hands — and the presidential pedigree appears to have paid off.

The Tudor-style Jamaica Estates house where Trump spent his earliest years has sold for $1.93 million, listing agent Joe Zhu of RE/MAX Edge confirmed exclusively to The Post.

That’s nearly $1.1 million more than the $835,000 developer Tommy Lin paid for the rundown Queens property last year — before pouring more than $500,000 into an eight-month gut renovation.

The final price also came within $70,000 of its most recent $1.99 million asking price.

The deal closes the loop on a sale The Post first reported in July, when the five-bedroom home went into contract but the agreed-upon price had not been revealed.

At the time, Zhu said the offer was “very close” to asking.

Turns out, it was.

Zhu said the home’s connection to the president was a major draw for prospective buyers, with many interested in the property for more than just its bricks and mortar.

“There were quite a lot of people” interested because it was Trump’s former home, Zhu told The Post, adding that some saw additional historical value in owning the property.

The roughly 3,100-square-foot residence at 85-15 Wareham Place has come a long way from the condition Lin found it in.

When he bought the property for $835,000 in 2025, it had sat vacant for years, suffered damage from a burst pipe and mold — and had even become home to a colony of feral cats, as The Post previously reported.

Lin’s renovation brought in a chef’s kitchen, herringbone floors and spa-like bathrooms while leaving its distinctive Tudor-style exterior intact.

The five-bedroom, four-bath property initially returned to the market for $2.3 million before being taken off the market and later relisted. After another price cut, it was asking just under $2 million when it found a buyer this summer.

But no renovation can replicate the house’s biggest claim to fame.

Trump’s father, real estate developer Fred Trump, built the brick-and-stucco residence in 1940. The president lived there until he was about 4, when the family moved to a larger Jamaica Estates home nearby.

The Wareham Place property has since had a colorful real estate history of its own.

It sold for $2.14 million in 2017 — shortly after Trump entered the White House for his first term — and was later offered to tourists on Airbnb before eventually falling into disrepair.
