Donald Trump’s Childhood Home Hits the Market for $1.65M

The childhood home of presidential candidate Donald Trump, 8515 Wareham Place in the Jamaica Estates of Queens, New York, has come up for sale.

The 2,000-square-foot Tudor Revival-style home located in the largest borough of New York isn’t special for its amenities. In fact, the six-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home only boasts a screened-in patio and a two-car garage.

But it seems the novelty of being the Republican candidate’s boyhood home has added about three-quarters of a million dollars to the price tag.

Similar homes in the Jamaica Estates neighborhood are going for $700,000 less than the $1.65 million asking price, and Zillow only values the home at $1.2 million.

The property was last sold in 2008 for $782,500, meaning the current sellers are seeking almost double what they paid for the relatively small brick and stucco house.

Should Trump win, his former Wareham Place home would join 21st President Chester A. Arthur’s 123 Lexington Avenue house in Manhattan on the list of New York’s presidential properties.
