The childhood home of the first American Pope, Pope Leo XIV, Robert Francis Prevost is going up for Auction in Dolton, IL.
The auction for the home has a reserve price of $250,000 and is set to auction on June 18th via Paramount Realty and Steve Budzik ICandy Realty LLC
Per Zillow the home was bought in May of 2024 for only $66k, and renovated and put back on the market for $219,000 in January of this year, however the home was pulled from the market once the new pope was elected. It’s back now for sale via the auction.
Let’s take a look inside the Pope’s childhood home!
You can see it’s been updated with the millennial vibe. At least they didn’t make the floors grey.
I love that arch design and the fireplace in the living room!
Lots of natural pope light.
The whole house seems to have been updated, including the kitchen.
Looks like you have to BYOS (bring your own stove) .
One of the bathrooms!
This must be the master bedroom. No home remodel is complete without a boob style light.
Another room. Or maybe the same? No idea.
I love it when a listing shows the pope’s childhood home laundry room. Arguably the most important room in a home.
