Ivana Trump was known for her glamorous life and so it is no surprise that her Upper East Side townhouse, on the market for $19.5 million, is just as opulent and grand as the late wife of Donald Trump.
Built in 1879, the Adamesque home is on a highly coveted block in the affluent neighborhood, just one block from Central Park, and features one-of-a-kind gold and black grilled doors that welcome you into the five-bedroom, six-bathroom home.
Set across six stories and 8725 square feet, the home also features an additional 700 square feet of outdoor space, a rare commodity in New York City.
But it is inside where Ivana's style can be appreciated, with bold reds on the wall, lavish gold molding, and draped four-poster beds.
As you step into a large gallery reception room with a crystal chandelier and gilded custom-paneling, that style is seen immediately, with a powder room off to one site and a gated elevator that services each floor.
There is also a media room with an adjacent kitchen and home office, as well access to a 19x20 garden patio, while in the cellar can be found a contemporary Swedish sauna, laundry room and ample storage.

On the third floor, three bedrooms can be found, with oak-paneling and chic dressing rooms. One features its own private ensuite, while the other two – both overlooking the treetops of 64th street – share a large fill bathroom.
The top floor features an enormous guest bedroom with a full ensuite bathroom, as well as two neighboring bedrooms, called staff quarters, which also share a full bathroom.
The home is on the market for $19.5 million but the price has dropped twice in two years, after first being listed for $26.5 million in 2022. Last year, the asking price was reduced by $4 million before this recent $3million cut.

Ivana married Donald in 1977, and the couple divorced in 1992 but they remained close friends up to her death despite a contentious divorce. She raised their three children, Don Jr, Ivanka, and Eric in the home.
