Jeffrey Epstein's UES Home Could Sell For $100M, Report Says

UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — The Upper East Side home of billionaire child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein could fetch as much as $100 million when it hits the open market, according to reports.

Epstein's East 71st Street mansion, located in a 50-foot-wide townhouse between Fifth and Madison avenues, has been attracting investors since the convicted pedophile died while he was alone in his cell on Aug. 10, the New York Post first reported. Epstein had been arrested and charged with federal sex-trafficking and conspiracy charges the month before.

Brokers told the Post that the "creep factor" of the home may not drive down a potential sales price, saying that whoever buys the property will likely go forward with extensive renovations.

An indictment unsealed in Manhattan Federal Court this year accused Epstein of luring young girls to the Upper East Side home for sexual encounters from at least 2002 to 2005. Epstein sought out girls who were minors and knew some of them were underage because they told him how old they were, the indictment says.

Authorities also found hundreds of photographs of what appeared to be nude and partially nude underage girls in his Manhattan mansion on the night he was arrested, according to a court filing. Epstein's lawyers argued that the billionaire hedge funded should have been allowed to stay in the East 71st Street home during his detention, but judges ordered him held without bail.
