Jeffrey Epstein's $56 million mansion could become a real-estate nightmare

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Jeffrey Epstein lived in what’s reportedly one of the largest private homes in Manhattan, where he allegedly sexually abused underaged girls, an allegation so horrific, real-estate experts say people will go out of their way to avoid walking down the block.

Epstein has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Epstein’s seven-story, 21,000-square-foot Upper East Side home near Central Park is reportedly valued at $56 million, and if the home ever hits the market again, the stigma from the financier’s alleged sex-trafficking scandal will likely diminish its worth.

“After an event like this occurs, and the public becomes aware of it, all of a sudden the value drops significantly,” real-estate appraiser Orell Anderson, who valued the homes where Nicole Brown Simpson and JonBenet Ramsey were murdered, told MarketWatch.

When tragedy or crime occurs at a home, it could take years before it ever sells, even if it’s a high profile residence. —

One might find what’s inside the mansion disturbing even without knowing the harrowing acts that occurred inside. The home is reportedly adorned with unsettling decor choices, like a female doll hanging from the chandelier, and a self-portrait Epstein reportedly commissioned of himself portrayed in a prison scene behind barbed wire in the middle of a corrections officer and a guard station, according to The New York Times. All of those adornments, of course, would be removed in lieu of any sale.

Poor innocent Manhattan real estate brokers.

2. Okay. I'll take it off their hands for $20

I won’t even charge them to fix the door the cops broke.

4. Epstein's $56M Mansion was Given to Him by Ohio Billionaire Wexton Founder of Victoria's Secret

I'm sure there's more to that story. Hopefully some investigative journalist will look deeper into the unusual relationship between Wexton and Epstein.
