Astronaut Buzz Aldrin’s childhood home up for sale
One of the most adventurous New Jerseyans to have ever lived is at the center of a real estate debate raging in Upper Montclair. Buzz Aldrin, the man who set foot on the moon during the same mission with Neil Armstrong, grew up in a four bedroom house on Princeton Place in Upper Montclair, NJ.
The home is on the market with an asking price of $1,049,000. It’s the first time the home is up for sale since the Aldrins sold it when Buzz would have been in his late teens. Here’s a fun fact: Buzz Aldrin slept in the 3rd floor bedroom and according to a story on NJ.com used to sneak out of his window at night to hang out on the roof and gaze at the stars. What foreshadowing!
