The dining room was inspired by Versailles
After two years on the market, the lavish home where the late Ivana Trump once lived recently got another steep price cut.
Listed for as much as $26.5 million in 2022, Trump's luxurious townhome has changed price a few times. Last year, the ask was reduced by $4 million.
And now, the lavish five-bedroom, six-bath property on New York City's Upper East Side is listed for $19.5 million after its most recent price cut.
As the 8,725-square-foot dwelling continues to languish on the market, here's another look at the incredible details inside.

The 1899 building boasts design features including a mansard roof, limestone cladding, and a facade with columns.
Trump made the six-story home into a mini Baroque palace, complete with crystal chandeliers, gilded paneling, silky fabrics, ornate crown moldings, and custom millwork. An elevator stops at every floor-from the first-level's curvy staircase to the second floor, where the living room boasts lofty ceilings and a fireplace.
More wood is found in the dining area, which was patterned after a room at the palace in Versailles and features gold fabric on the walls. The entire third floor is devoted to the primary suite and is decked out with a gorgeous mural, private terrace, and an en suite bathroom of pink onyx marble.

Other fancy amenities include a media room with an adjoining kitchen on the lower level, 700 square feet of outdoor space, and a Swedish sauna. Every must-see hot spot in NYC is close at hand here, from world-class museums (Frick, Metropolitan, Guggenheim) to Central Park and upscale shopping and dining.
Trump, an ex-wife of former president Donald Trump, bought the property in 1992 for $2.5 million after her divorce. Born in Czechia, the businesswoman and socialite raised her three children in this home. She died here, too, in 2022 from injuries sustained in a fall.
