A Tudor-style house in Queens, New York, where former President Donald Trump spent part of his childhood, has recently secured a buyer following extensive renovations. The property, located in the affluent Jamaica Estates neighborhood, was originally built in 1940 by Fred Trump, Donald Trump’s father and a prominent real estate developer. The Trump family lived in the home until 1950, when Donald Trump was four years old, before moving to a larger residence within the same area.

The home changed hands in March 2025 when real estate developer Tommy Lin acquired it for $835,000, according to property records. At the time of purchase, the house was in poor condition, suffering from a leaking roof, an overgrown yard, and occupancy by feral cats. Lin, who typically focuses on condominium projects in Brooklyn, took on the restoration as a unique project due to the property’s association with the former president.

Over the course of eight months, Lin invested roughly $500,000 into renovating the 2,885-square-foot, five-bedroom home. The work included repairing structural damage and updating the interior with contemporary finishes while preserving the house’s historical charm.

Lin initially listed the home for sale in November 2025 at $2.3 million but withdrew it from the market by the end of January 2026. The property briefly reappeared for sale in March with an asking price of $2.2 million. By mid-May, the house was relisted under a new agent, Joe Zhu of Re/Max Edge, with a reduced asking price slightly below $2 million.

Zhu noted that the property drew significant interest due to its historical value, distinctive architecture, location in Jamaica Estates, and renovation potential. As of the latest update, the house was pending sale, though Zhu declined to disclose the buyer’s identity or the final sale price.
