The late Ivana Tump’s historic limestone residence has now been on the market for almost a full year — but instead of getting a buyer, it’s gotten a price cut.
On Thursday, according to a StreetEasy listing update, the gilded abode took a 15% price cut and is now asking $22.5 million — $4 million less than its initial ask.
Trump — who passed away last July, aged 73, her body found at the bottom of the Eeast 64th Street property’s grand staircase — lived at the address until her last, and reportedly adored the 8,725-square-foot spread.
“My mom absolutely loved that house,” her son, Eric Trump, told the Wall Street Journal last year, adding that the furniture could be negotiated for inclusion in the sale, the proceeds of which would go to Eric and the other two children she shared with Donald Trump: Donald Jr. and Ivanka, who were raised there.
(Another of Ivana’s properties, meanwhile, was left to her ex-nanny.)
The late Czech-American businesswoman and socialite purchased the historic limestone rowhouse following the finalization of her divorce from the former president in 1992, paying $2.5 million (the equivalent of about $5.4 million today).
During her decades living at the palatial 17-room, 20-foot-wide townhouse, Ivana is said to have transformed the space into a real-estate personification of her maximalist self.
Throughout the five-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom, six-story home is grandeur galore, from a Pepto Bismol-pink mirrored bath to an animal print-covered library, an abundance of gold accents and fixtures, chandeliers aplenty and a Versailles-inspired dining room.
In her 2017 book “Raising Trump,” Ivana described one living room as “how Louis XVI would have lived if he had had money.”
As well, there’s a back garden, a fireplace-equipped primary bedroom — and while there’s no full kitchen (Ivana openly admitted she didn’t cook much in her later years), there are two small galley-style ones.
“It was the last possession in the world she would ever have gotten rid of,” Eric Trump added.
