However, although the residence was a lavish haven for the socialite for many years, the final sale hints that such over-the-top glamour may have been more than today\u2019s buyers were looking for.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

What followed was an extensive and dramatic makeover that turned the home into a reflection of Ivana\u2019s personality\u2014filled with leopard prints, pink marble, crystal chandeliers, and plenty of gold accents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The walls were wrapped in red silk, with red carpeting stretching across each level of the home. Gold details appeared on nearly every surface. Real estate footage from 2023 described the interior as having a \u201cVersailles-inspired\u201d style, with many of the late socialite\u2019s original furnishings still present when the property was listed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Her son, Eric Trump, remembered the lavish parties his mother threw for celebrities and royalty. He said the extravagance of the home truly \u201ccaptured Ivana Trump.\u201d The townhouse wasn\u2019t just a residence\u2014it was a bold statement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

For three of Donald Trump\u2019s children, it was also the home of their adolescence. Donald Jr., Eric, and Ivanka Trump all spent their teenage years surrounded by those gold-accented walls.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The sale marks the close of a chapter that ended tragically within those same walls. On July 14, 2022, Manhattan paramedics were called to Ivana\u2019s Upper East Side residence shortly after 12:30 p.m. for a reported cardiac arrest.<\/p>\n

They discovered the 73-year-old unconscious at the bottom of a staircase and she was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n

The New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner later confirmed that her death was caused by blunt trauma to the torso from a fall, and it was officially ruled an accident.<\/p>\n

Just days before her passing, Ivana had been planning a summer getaway. Her close friend, Nikki Haskell, told\u202fPage Six\u202fthat Ivana was set to leave for St. Tropez the following day\u2014her first trip abroad since the pandemic had kept her mostly home for two years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Haskell revealed that Ivana had been \u201ccompletely confined\u201d during the COVID-19 pandemic, seldom leaving except for a few nearby restaurants. She had been eagerly anticipating her first chance to travel again\u2014a global trip was even planned. Tragically, her 64th Street home would be the last place she ever saw.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Giuliano Zuliani, who owns a nearby restaurant Ivana often visited, told\u202fPeople\u202fthat she appeared unwell during her last weeks. \u201cShe didn\u2019t look to be in good condition. She could barely walk and didn\u2019t finish her meals, often taking them home,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Challenges in Selling the Townhouse<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following Ivana\u2019s passing, her townhouse was listed for sale promptly. The initial asking price, set in late 2022, was a striking $26.5 million. However, despite the home\u2019s prestige, buyer interest was minimal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Over the following three-plus years, the asking price was repeatedly reduced. By November 2023, it had dropped to $22.5 million, and by the time a buyer was secured, it had fallen further to $17.9 million.<\/p>\n

The property ultimately sold for $14 million, highlighting the complex interplay of legacy, luxury, and the modern market\u2019s tolerance for extravagance. Records indicate the sale closed on February 27, 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The numbers are remarkable. Purchased for $2.5 million in 1992 and sold for $14 million in 2026, the townhouse certainly increased in value\u2014but the gradual decline to the final sale price tells a more nuanced story.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to question why such a high-profile property faced difficulty in Manhattan\u2019s competitive market. Prospective buyers were likely put off by the home\u2019s unusual layout, which featured two formal entertaining spaces but lacked a full-sized kitchen.<\/p>\n

Ivana reportedly acknowledged that she rarely cooked in her later years, relying instead on two compact, galley-style kitchens that didn\u2019t quite suit the scale of the six-story mansion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Whether the crystal chandeliers remain or the leopard print is replaced with something more suited to 2026 remains unknown. Regardless, after four years on the market and a $12.5 million price reduction, the Upper East Side\u2019s most extravagant townhouse has finally begun its next chapter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

According to\u202fThe Wall Street Journal, the Trump family could not be reached for comment on the sale, and the buyer\u2019s identity has not been disclosed.<\/p>\n

When it was last listed, the townhouse still featured much of Ivana\u2019s original decor. The new owner either acquired a piece of New York social history or signed up for an extremely costly renovation\u2014or perhaps both.\"\"<\/p>\n
