A 76-year-old man was fatally stabbed by his son inside his pricey Queens home Saturday night, police and sources said. 

Carl Muraco, 25, allegedly knifed John Muraco in the chest around 11:40 p.m. in their home on 102nd Street near 159th Avenue in Howard Beach, according to cops.

A different son made the grisly discovery and called 911, but he could not be saved, according to sources.  

The four-bedroom home is worth close to $1 million, according to an online listing. 

Neighbors said the family moved in around last year, CBS News reported.

Police responded to a 911 call for an assault and found the senior citizen dead.

The motive of the attack is unknown, police said.
