The home of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is in the news and on real estate sites.
The six-bedroom, 7 1/2-bathroom lakefront mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, once owned by Epstein, is no more — the multimillion-dollar home was demolished after his death in 2019. The two-story home featured a living room and patio with views of the intracoastal waterway, an elevator, West Indies-style architecture, a cabana and a separate building used by household staff, according to reporting by the Palm Beach Daily News, a USA TODAY Network newspaper.
In 2021, the Palm Beach Daily News and the Palm Beach Post captured photos and video of the demolition of Epstein's home in Florida.
However, photos of the white house with a crystal blue pool and a waterfront view still show up on sites like homes.com and realtor.com. The site has been razed and the address changed. The real estate sites list property details that are public record.
Built in 1952 and sold for $18.5 million in 2021, the Epstein home was a key site where many of the crimes committed by the financier occurred, investigators said. Underage girls from Palm Beach County told investigators they were assaulted at the Palm Beach mansion as well as Epstein's homes in New York, New Mexico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
