85-15 Wareham Place is a Tudor-style house, built in either the 1920s[1] or in 1940[2][3] (sources differ) by Donald Trump's father, Fred.[4] located in the upper-middle-class neighborhood of Jamaica Estates, Queens in New York City.[5] Trump's family lived there until he was four years old.[6] In 1950, the family moved to a larger house at 85-14 Midland Parkway on the other side of the same block.[7][1]
The house was put up for sale in July 2016, during the presidential campaign.[6] Initially listed at $1.65 million, the house was purchased by Manhattan real estate investor Michael Davis for almost $1.4 million in December.[2] According to The New York Times, the house was sold in March 2017 for $2.14 million to "a limited-liability company represented by a law firm that specializes in Chinese foreign investment".[8] In 2017, the house was listed on the house rental service Airbnb for $725 per night.[9] After an attempt to sell it for $2.9 million in February 2019,[2][3] an auction planned to conclude on November 14 failed as no qualified bids came forward.[3]
