Trump's childhood home in Queens was once a cat den. Now it has sold for ₹18.44 crore

President Donald Trump's childhood home in Queens, New York was recently sold for $1.93 million, following a major renovation that transformed the neglected property into a modern five-bedroom residence. The Tudor-style house, where Trump lived until he was four, was purchased by developer Tommy Lin last year for $835,000. The property had been vacant and neglected, suffering water damage and mould after a burst pipe, and even hosting feral cats.

Lin spent $500,000 and eight months renovating the home, adding a chef's kitchen, herringbone wood flooring, and spa-style bathrooms. The latest sale follows a series of price changes since Trump became president, with the property selling for $2.14 million in 2017 and failing to find a buyer at a higher price point in 2019.
