A Steep Discount for a Storied Upper East Side Gem

The five story limestone townhouse at 10 East 64th Street finally secured a buyer at $14 million, a figure that sits nearly 47 percent below its 2022 debut price. The property has seen a series of dramatic price reductions over the last few years, dropping to $22.5 million in 2023 and $17.9 million in late 2025 before the final deal was struck. Represented by Adam Modlin of the Modlin Group, the transaction closed after the estate struggled to find a buyer willing to pay a premium for the home’s ultra specific aesthetic.

Maximalist Design and Decades of Trump History

Purchased by Ivana Trump for $2.5 million in 1992 following her divorce from Donald Trump, the 8,725 square foot residence became a "real estate personification" of her maximalist style. Over thirty years, she transformed the 17 room interior into a showcase of gold leaf accents, animal prints, and Italian crystal chandeliers. Notable features include a Versailles inspired dining room, a leopard print library, and a primary suite finished in pink onyx marble. The home also serves as a piece of family history, as it was the environment where Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric Trump spent much of their youth.

The Challenges of Personalized Luxury Real Estate

Real estate analysts suggest the home’s lengthy time on the market was largely due to its "tacky luxe" interior, which stood in stark contrast to the modern, minimalist trends currently dominating the Manhattan luxury sector. While the 1899 built structure is architecturally significant, the cost of modernizing the highly customized 1980s style bathrooms and kitchens likely deterred investors looking for move-in ready assets. This sale highlights a broader trend in the New York market where celebrity provenance is often outweighed by the practical necessity of extensive renovations.
