Trump’s Renovated Childhood Home Lists for $2.3 Million in Queens

The long-neglected Jamaica Estates house was bought for about $835,000 before an eight-month renovation.

Overview

  • Developer Tommy Lin says he invested roughly $500,000 to modernize the 1940 Tudor while preserving elements like the original façade and an old wood stove.
  • The listing describes a multi‑story residence with five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a finished basement, a small garden, and a fireplace.
  • An open house is scheduled for Sunday, November 16, from 12:00 to 1:30 p.m. local time, according to the listing.
  • The property previously cycled through speculative sales, including a 2016 purchase for $1.39 million and a 2017 resale for $2.14 million, with a Trump‑themed Airbnb operation in between.
  • Media accounts note the home’s politicized past uses, including a 2017 Oxfam rental to highlight the refugee crisis, and a period of disrepair marked by a burst pipe, mold, no utilities, and reports of numerous stray cats.
