More than 240 miles away from the White House<\/a> sits a quaint Tudor-style abode that boasts an enormous political legacy\u2014having once served as the childhood dwelling of none other than President Donald Trump<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The picturesque house was built by Trump’s father, real estate developer Fred Trump, in 1940 and was used as the family’s primary residence until the future president turned 4 years old.<\/p>\n

Despite its impressive heritage, the property fell into a state of disrepair in recent years<\/a>, with reports suggesting when it went on the market in 2019 that it was overrun with feral cats. <\/p>\n

As a result, the property sold at a steep discount in March 2025, when it was purchased by developer Tommy Lin for just $835,000. <\/p>\n

Lin then embarked on an extensive renovation of the home to make it “great again,” leaving the interior space virtually unrecognizable within a matter of months\u2014before putting it back on the market Nov. 7 for $2.3 million, almost three times the price he paid for it earlier this year.<\/p>\n

In a clear sign of the public fascination with the dwelling, it has quickly shot to the top of the week’s most popular homes list<\/a>, sparking a frenzy of interest among homebuyers. <\/p>\n

Also grabbing attention this week are a geodesic home in New Jersey<\/a>, a floating residence in Sausalito<\/a>, CA, and a midcentury modern time capsule in Oregon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Price: $1,675,000<\/p>\n
