- The late Ivana Trump's townhouse in New York has sat on the market for one full year with no takers. Last month, it took a $4 million cut from its original asking price, down to $22.5 million.
The extravagant residence remains virtually untouched since her death in July 2022. In fact, very little has changed since Ivana Trump, former President Donald Trump's first ex-wife, renovated the home in the 1990s.
The six-story, almost 8,800-square-foot townhouse’s interior is “Versailles-flavored” and still decorated with the late Ivana Trump's furnishings, clad in red carpets and red silk-covered walls, and dripping with gold accents and ornate crystal chandeliers.
CNBC’s Ray Parisi gets you an all-access tour with Erickson.

Go Inside Ivana Trump’s $22.5 million townhouse | CNBC Ambition - Zábava
What's your favorite room in the townhouse? I think ours might be the leopard print room 🤔
I hope it’s not really leopard skin.
@@bobbiegentilquore9496 Yes! That room is incredible.
Hmmm! I would consider this a tear down🫤
@@jamielancaster01 You Could Not afford it Chump ! Its a Museum ?
The room with the door to the street.
Looks like an enormous jewelry box.
🤣🤣
It’s called TDS Envy
@@saverespectlovebabiesanima7325 what’s to envy? Multiple felony convictions and money from grifting regular folks?
P.S.S. I can see a Middle Eastern billionaire buying Ivana's townhome and not changing a thing ... 😅
probably adding more in it.
Or a Russian oligarch.
@@catemoon Oh, you're one of those who believed the Russia collusion theory if you're still making Russia Russia Russia posts. Your hatred for the Trumps are getting old especially when you accuse them of things that the people you support do.
The house is a little too much for my liking but the library is fabulous!♥️
I agree
So basically, the outside looks like a bank and the inside looks like a brothel meets a Jersey City Italian restaurant.
😂😂😂
Hey I love that old luxury jersey brothel style! 😂
And I bet you think signage, sliding doors on tracks and reclaimed hardwood is the height of sophistication. 😂
@@monaonassis6346 No that is a barn
My thoughts exactly 😊
It’s like an old saloon and Christmas all the time.
You probably shop at IKEA 😂
Wallpaper reminds me of a cheap steakhouse chain of the late 1960s.
@@monaonassis6346Precisely. I abhor IKEA. I see nothing wrong with the aesthetic in this home.
Looks more like a brothel.
Ivana comes from Czech republic which was part of Austrian/ German monarchy with a lot of castles full of antic furniture, crystal chandeleuers, marble floors, and she probably wanted something similar at her home.
That doesn't matter. Czechia indeed, like Austria and Bavaria is rich in the South German tradition of design. But that means restraint and geometric design not rocaille insanity. From Modernism and Functionalism in the 1920s to 1980s, to Secession Art Nouveau in the 1890s-1910s, to Neo-Renaissance from the 1860s-1890s to Biedermeier in the 1820s-1840s. The interior here is incredibly over the top, especially to Czechs, like it is trying to cram the entire National Theatre and State Opera into a walkup. Even in the 1980s and 1990s this would be considered gaudy, oppressive and ugly.
Ivana's taste was simply incredibly Nouveau riche and paired well with her Husbands. But this is in no way considered classy by anyone, except maybe the Russian oligarch mafioso types. The fact that she had the place wall to wall carpeted instead of using parquet, just makes this house look like a Vegas Hotel that's trying too had.
Considering the sets of the Nanny are from the same era, this house just screams poor taste.
De gustibus non est disputandum
Exactly
What dod she do to get it😂
Nope!. Slovenia 😉😉😉
I love that 22.5 million dollar window AC unit!!! 😂🤣😭🤙🏼
If it’s the AC I saw to the right on the first floor it’s not in her house.
Does it matter? It’s still there. A window unit… 22 million dollars. But way to go! 🤙🏼
It reminds me of Buckingham Palace (but a lot smaller), and whilst it's not my taste I can appreciate it and see that a lit of love has been given to it 😊
The ultimate in tacky decor.
Someone could turn it into a casino. The decorations are perfect.
You should have seen the restaurant she decorated in Trump's Atlantic City casino. Purple, black, and gold bad taste.
@@janewasson4845 It's Atlantic City! I'm sure it was fine.
Or a luxury strip club lmao
Perhaps a brothel?
Hey, obviously it was everything she wanted so good for her , she got to live that way, it’s obviously going to have a certain type of appeal to only a certain group of people, because it’s definitely a love it, or hate it place. Personally, not mine, but what does that matter, hopefully somebody will find it to their liking or will just cut it and redo it because of the place and location. Either way very interesting.
Nice comment and I agree.
A very specific style can take much longer to find the right buyer.
I still wonder how she fell down the stairs...I just don't believe it. . I really don't !!
@@lindahilton9482 That is something that bothers me greatly. If only she had a med alert.
Like a cross between a Lautrec Bordello and the Plaza Hotel! 😮
I was thinking the same thing. The entrance reminds me of the painting, The salon at the Rue Des Moulins
It’s going to cost a lot to bring it up to date especially that leopard room ugh!
The leopard room is the only part I liked.
Quote by Dolly Parton: “It costs a lot of money to look this cheap”
Yuk Yuk Yuk , L o L L o L
Quote by Luann. “money can’t buy you class”
I agree, If I am going ot pay that kind of money its has to come with something.
@@Mythoughtonpoliticaltopics well, it comes with something: "Anastasia Romanov starring as Satine in Moulin Rouge: The Bollywood Musical" vibes. I'm just sayin'...
She bought it at $8.4M.... they use to inflate the price....
To me, her taste in decor is hideous. But, if redecorated, it would be beautiful.
Her taste in a husband wasn't much better.
Redecorate after paying 22m is it worth it?
The mural kind of looks like something you would find at an Olive Garden 😂😂😂
Peggy Bundy would love the leopard print room.
It looks like it was decorated by Liberace.😂😂
Eastern European "taste". 😳
Which is an insult to Liberace
@@eily_b No, more Middle Eastern
I just said the same thing to my husband 🤣🤣🤣
She is buried 🪦in a golf course, that's the real sad story.
It’s too dark and dreary in there. They shouldn’t have to have all the lights on in the middle of the day.
Keep in mind. It's a townhouse, so there are no windows on the sides. Only the front and back.
To me, it absolutely stunning and delights my heart, I am drawn to mid century baroque, for some reason.
Didn't she fall in there and that caused her hospitalization and then she died from it?
That or the yabbajabba...
Ivana had been sick for quite a while. The owner of a restaurant she went to days earlier, said she was unable to eat - so she took the food home.
no she was murdered and then they lied and said she died falling down the stairs but that is an obvious lie.
Diaper don vonshitshispants probably pushed her down those stairs! 🤣
If there were neutral carpets, the red silk (&leopard!)was taken off the walls and a nice modern kitchen was built out someone could live here through a floor by floor reno. The house was obviously kept very clean and well maintained.
They are crazy, 22.5 mil? That place needs a total gut renovation. I do like the pink onyx on the floor. But somebody from Saudi Arabia might buy it.
For people like that don’t have 22M it’s crazy but for billionaires that’s only piece of cake. It’s fair price for multi millionaire middle eastern people or Asian billionaires. This is iconic home now.
I think the kind of person who has the funds to buy this place might love the decor. 🤣
I mean it’s definitely outdated whoever buys it will have to do a gut renovation to bring it to today’s safety and design it to their specifications 😊
yes, I agree. While everything is beautiful ( a matter of ones own taste) it is very taste specific, which is fine it was her house. To me, most of it is very outdated, and that's fine also, everything cant be up to the minute...but this decor, is way beyond over the top, and a little on the grotesque side. Once her furniture goes and just the walls and floors are left, the new owner will have to remove the wallpaper, carpeting, and it becomes a full gut.
I don't know how many people would think this this is "turn key". The one thing about these town homes is the lack of light in the inner rooms from windows. I don't like it, and wouldn't want to love there.
It could’ve been redone last year and the new owners would still renovate to their tastes.
@@jerryware1970facts
It's a bit of an eastern european revival in this style. Rich Russians too are extreme with their gold.
Everyone has their own individuality. Good for her. ❤
Exactly at that level of money you can do what you want
I liked Ivana. She loved her home. That’s important. I’d love to have the home and change it to my own preference.
She was one tacky beyotch and married someone even tackier.
It takes a lot of money to make a house look this vulgar and tasteless, but it was Ivana’s choice, she made it how she wanted it to be, and I hope she found some happiness there.
what do you like hospital rooms and days inn ?
I had the opportunity to meet her in person in 1998 (during the time she was writing the column for The Globe) and she was so lovely, sincere and witty!
lol somebody is super jealous I see.. lol
Tasteless. Most of it is very classy. Not my style. I can not stand animal print …. Though I love animals. It’s a female dign. Like men who hunt and mount animal heads on walls. Some women love this. I think it’s 🤮…. But I love the jewell tones with white trim…. Just a few things I would change. But then again….. I prefer easy living that’s cozy.
It's all too quasi Monarchy. It was designed for a person with lower middle class tastes.
If She preserved it, wondering why haven’t her children retained it?
Because it’s hideous!
Her children allowed their father to chuck her remains in the back of a golf course for tax reasons…cold blooded.
@@marylhereI highly doubt she’s actually buried there, they have her grave there and say she is for tax purposes but I bet she’s buried elsewhere
Most people sell their parents house after death and distribute the proceeds?
scene of the crime.
I don’t totally hate it. It’s a lot of red, but it kind of has a secluded tucked away vibe to it.
Id never leave. Lol it’s so luxurious and 80s and cozy to me. But I am also a super homebody!
It’s ironic that they think so highly of the staircase when it was the very thing that led to her demise.
the stairway did not lead to her demise, he filthy ex husband had her killed and that is what led to her demise. no way she died falling down those carpeted stairs. people fall down steps all the time and none of them die, unless the steps are concrete and it happens outdoors. that is possible. but not those stairs what a lie.
@@heyday179 - i was thinking the same thing. She has an elevator in her house. She isn't walking up or down those stairs at her age when she has an elevator. Something in the buttermilk aint clean 🤔🤔🤔😳
@@mommyofcupid9198 she was not that old and perfectly capable of using the stairs. either way. she was murdered. that is what that orange filth did with his 'position' and his war criminal money, rob his children of their mother. what outrageous mentally ill orange freak. i bet it made the mentally ill orange freak happy to rob his children of their mother. freak
Now she’s buried in an overgrown patch of crabgrass at a tacky golf resort. “I Really Don’t Care Do U”-Love, Mel
I wouldn’t want to live there but I would love to visit for a dinner party.
She loved it..She lived it..Her taste..😊
Bingo!
So? We already know this. Everyone can criticize as they wish
Oh lord that has to be the most tackiest house I ever seen. Those red carpets yikes
Trump’s Trump Tower apartment bets this.
Jealous much moron
Resembles someone's command of the English Lang.😢
Do not agree with you at all
Ivana's ghost comes with it for free.
I’m not rich or privileged & have never experienced high-end luxury but I know what I don’t like - the entire interior of this townhouse. Only the front doors were tasteful to me. The moment the hosts went inside, it just felt like a brothel. But then again they did mention this townhouse wanted to emulate “Parisienne” vibes & it does feel very Moulin Rouge to me.
Agreed!
Yeah the outdoor courtyard and the outside of the front entrance were the only appealing places for me.
Well she was tacky and gaudy like all the Trumps. What do you expect.
If she had an elevator in the house why did she fall down the stairs?
Exactly!
Have you ever counted steps? It's what you do to keep fit. Elevators are for handicapped people.
@@TullaRask
And for those who do not want to not fall to their death
A terrible untimely and unfortunate accident
@@catchmeintherye2102how many times have u died falling down stairs, get a grip
It’s like she went to Joann Fabrics and said- give me all of your tackiest fabrics you have in that discount bin over there.
Windows only in the front (maybe the back) - that's why the home feels so dark.
Oh my eyes ....
She died there falling down the stairs. What happened to the elevator! Now, some rich dogs are buried better than she's under that ⛳️ golf course. How sad.
I think the decor was "IN" during her time. Remember she's also Czech so it has European influences. And she's gone now. So i think her family decided not to change anything bec it will bring and hold memories for them. Sometimes we just need to think for a moment before we comment ya know. No hate, just understanding.
That Townhouse should be a museum. NO one should touch it.
I would offer less than current ask, then change out the carpets, paint and paper the walls, and just basically tone it down a bit. No reno required, just cosmetics.
It's a beautiful home for someone who loves period dramas and royal life
As is said, "There's no accounting for taste." Taste?
Kitsch and bad taste at its highest level. It feels like until yesterday this guy was making shows about how to properly milk a cow and today he landed on the Upper East Side and was forced to talk about interior design. By the way, what is so classic NYC? And when you make a show with two people make sure both of them have a mic or working mics.
This house is a nightmare to me honestly.
Not to mention cursed and probably haunted because of the tragic accident.
I wonder how the kids fighting in wars and the homeless would feel about your nightmares?
Those stairs killed her.
Interesting that she fell down the stairs when she was elderly and had an elevator.
Well, she also had more than enough stairs to fall from...
….and that her ex husband was in town and she was due to give a deposition about him the next day. …..and that she is spending eternity IN his golf course. Interesting indeed.
So in other words the house is haunted which is easy to believe 😮😊
Scary to see the stairs... where she died
I was thinking the same
Is her ghost included? 😮
Did she trip on the stairs, just as her nondisclosure agreement was ending, or was she pushed or tripped down the stairs?
@@ritagreen6499 ... plus, if she was cremated, why did they use a full heavy casket? I wonder what was buried with her asges? 🤔
She has an elevator. She isn't taking the stairs if she has an elevator
So help me understand something the staff had quarters and a office but no one was home when she was found dead at the bottom of the stairs that’s very strange for a woman who needed someone at her beck and call
She had staff but not enough staff to cover people’s days off.
@@CJ-jq4lv or maybe coincidentally the day she died trump gave the staff the day off because let’s not forget he was paying her alimony
But of course, the Donald was meticulous with his planning….she now rest comfortably…on a stack of files.
Maybe it was the staffs day off
Bet it was diaper don VonShitsHisPants who pushed her down those stairs ... probably because she was costing him too much! 🤣
This is very ornate and may not suit everyone’s tastes. It does resemble the kind of decor that would’ve been popular among French royalty in the Marie Antoinette era. Although it is opulently styled, it would be too dark and formal for me, but I appreciate the effort and attention to detail that Ivana put into it. Most important of all, it made her happy. It is beautiful in its own way.
Nuh uh, go to Paris. This is not timeless French classy chic. It is tacky American style.
This house looks like the decor of someone who grew up in Czechoslovakia in the 1950's. It's Ivana's interpretation of wealth from Eastern Europe. It's gawd awful!!! Fabric walls?! Are you kidding me?
@@CC-si3cr No, even in Czechoslovakia this was something else. Czechoslovakia in the 1950s actually was leading the world in Modernist design, especially after the 1958 Brussels Expo. This place looks more like Ivana was inspired by her ex-Husbands taste as well as all the Las Vegas Hotels and Casinos of the 1980s, down to the awful wall to wall hotel carpeting.
Too much Red!!!
The house looks more like a bordello if they had millions of dollar to decorate.
I know we're supposed to hate the rich but to have enough money to be able to buy this AND then renovate it so inspiring.
only the losers hate successful people.
She earned her millions because she knew not to get mad and just get everything.
And now she's in the back corner of a golf course covered by weeds.
Will Donnie got a tax break 😂
That's messed up. Had alot of money now she is a patch of weeds so sad......
Too much red.
💯!
I wouldn't change a thing, this is a gorgeous time capsule.
It is a time capsule indeed.
I love it. I am happy she lived her life on her terms she deserved it.😊
❤❤❤❤it all agreed 💯💯
The whole thing needs to be gut-renovated. It's ugly and tacky and garish like all the Trumps.
Imagine getting this home for $2.5 million in 1992. Even with reno costs still a bargain.
he said, "it's like a leopard print microsuede..." so shady. lol
Q: What period is this?
A: Reign of Terror.
its the period of I screwed Trump and was paid Millions just to divorce him. She is the only person that got paid from Trump and the only person that Trump was in debt to for his sucess
Outside look like a Bank 🏦 inside looks like a Brothel someone said 😂😂😂😂
Its dark and busy . I won't be able to relax there.
The very thought of being in that home makes my skin crawl.
It's not worth 22 million. It would take 10 million in renovation a job.
Stupendous bathroom. Thank you!
Nothing like answering a question and then talking over the answer😊
That house looks a hot mess. Leave it on the market
I'd leave it as it is. A tribute to Ivana, bless her.
Who would spend $22.5 million to live in a museum? people have different tastes
I just said the same thing
Pay your respects to you beloved Ivana. Trump buried her in his golf course. You can tee off on her gravesite on hole 17.
She got her just desserts. Phony
There are different tastes for everyone. I love her classy personality which is reflected in her home.
Done with a lot of love is correct! Lovely home she left, well suited to her taste.
I love the pink bathroom!
Me too 🎉🎉❤❤❤❤love 💝 the leapord room absolutely gorgeous place
Beautiful home, but I feel the house would give me vertigo from all the red
Reminds me of the Russian Tea Room with the red and gold...that was also a place that Ivana loved to have lunch.
Who cares!
@@JRB644 LOL! Obviously, YOU care since you took the time to reply!
How much is the price of that townhouse today? Anybody knows?
Tacky!!
"Versaille" translates to shiny, bawdy and garish. One person living in all this space is obscene. Just imagine her outcome had she lived in a nicely detailed, one level condo, there would have been no Texas tumble down the stairs....
A lot of people continue to live in their home after the kids have grown and moved.
X5
This kind of gaudy ostentatious style I call South Philly Baroque.
It could be beautiful with some very key changes, like changing all the carpet, and wall coverings, then buying all new furniture for most of it. (The master suite is the only space I would leave alone).
I would keep that entry room as is. What a conversation piece. I like her bathroom too.
Dear Lord, this is the gaudiest 1980"s themed casino I've ever seen.
Topless dancing at midnite.
It’s scary to live there, the ghost of Ivana will be walking at the middle of the night lol 😂
Is the red carpet included?
If I had a lot of money I would prefer to buy multiple homes aboard with twenty million dollars
If I had it, I would sell it. It is STILL in the dirty city, looking old from the outside. Honestly, the interior looks ENTIRELY VULGAR on the inside. For that money, you could get a State Of The Art place overlooking the Rocky Mountains, or Hollywood.
Someplace w/ a " room w/ a view " - the mountains , ocean , desert , perhaps .
@@cynthiajohnston424 Yes!❤
It's really quite grand. 🎉Just needs the kitchen modernised. Plus a lick of paint. I'd go peach. 😂
Typical realtor, claiming that the bathroom decor is now “totally in vogue.”
Un coup de cœur « français » pour la cuisine qui semble très pratique pour faire de bons plats. La maison ( palais) est si luxueuse et si féline… un rêve devenu réalité.
Very weird place😮😮
Wow. And not in a good way
Gold, gold, gold and gold, very tacky!! Indeed, money doesn't buy taste!!
Having all this money and choosing to live in this “brothel” and in NYC out of all places!
It is too confined, dark-ish and narrow. I'd rather live in an apartment overlooking Central Park or the Hudson River... and still have spare change to buy a Chateau in France itself.
I really don't understand this over the top style.
My Eyes! Tasteless. Commentary is hysterical from that realtor.
That quote being attributed to Ivana about Louis XIV is a riff on a famous quote. It was the famous American poet George Bernard Shaw is supposed to have told newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst that his castle was “what heaven would be like if God had your money."
And it was rehashed in the modern age by the actress and comedian Joan Rivers about her Manhattan apartment that “this is what Marie Antoinette would decorate her house if she had the money”.
So this townhome in NYC is more than Mar a Lago? Lol
Mausoleum chic 😂
Cutting the asking by $4 million suggests everyone is arguing the price. And rightly so. It's a gutter.
Its Gone With The Wind era style. Different people have different taste. I kinda like it. Spooky vibes are in the air.
Why does 1 person need all that
She raised her kids there.
@@dktk540 That explains a lot.
The sad thing is the new owners will "rip everything out" in an effort to show what great taste they have. a'la HGTV, which is not a good idea. It doesn't have to be that way. I can make this home into a breathtaking one by removing decorative items and refinishing the existing interior architecture alone. There is no need to rip out the cabinetry and millwork. There is no question about it. It is about refinishing, painting, laquering, and simplifying the look of some of the finishes.
There's not a wizard on earth that can "fix" what's there. I don't think it needs to be gutted back to the studs and floor joists, but it needs more help than what you outline. If that isn't done then it just looks like a little fresh make-up on a tarted-up woman of questionable means (which would still be Ivana, then, wouldn't it?).
