In 1982, Donald Trump and Ivana embarked on a journey into luxury real estate with their first mansion in Greenwich, purchased for $4 million. Fast forward to this month, his previous opulent estate sold at an astounding $31.5 million. Next week, the results of the presidential election will be announced, and let's take a look at the first mansion of this front-runner!
Nestled within the exclusive Indian Harbor Association, this magnificent mansion offers the best privacy and security. With 11 bedrooms and 18 bathrooms, it’s really a lavish mansion. Begin your tour inside Trump's first house of its previous and nowadays decor, where deluxe elegance meets comfort in every corner!
As you step inside, prepare to be mesmerized by the stunning entrance hall. A breathtaking Cinderella staircase exudes timeless elegance. An antique chandelier on the ceiling, a giant mural on the wall and emerald green velvet carpets both on the floor and steps showcase a luxurious and magnificent vibe, as if in a baroque palace.
The mansion’s living areas boast ceilings that soar over 20 feet high, creating an airy and spacious atmosphere. The wooden decoration matches well with the printed sofas. Large floor-to-ceiling windows ensure good indoor lighting, perfect for both intimate gatherings and lavish entertaining, making every moment unforgettable.
The Trumps made the room more luxurious by adding some sparkling silverware and crystal candlesticks. In this 1980s photo, Trump is sitting on a velvet sofa in the room, holding The New York Times. It looks like the perfect place to curl up with a book, especially with a roaring fire burning in the fireplace aside.
The restaurant maintains its stunning retro palace decor, with a large crystal chandelier hanging above the long dining table and a gold-framed mirror above the fireplace. The lavish setting is perfect for entertaining important guests and suits Trump's presidential status.
The cozy style of the kitchen's decor is quite distinct from that of the other rooms. The tiles and lower cabinets are a fresh shade of Tiffany green, with white upper cabinets and window frames, and green plants placed on the sides. Trump hired a private chef at that time, but Ivana also liked to cook for the family on Thanksgiving, enjoying happy parent-child time here.
Of all the bedrooms, the master suite is the most stunning. Ivana used plenty of gold foil as the main decoration, perfectly complementing the golden curtains, bedding and the crystal chandelier to create a magnificent, palace-style retreat. The spacious room also features a coffee table and sofa, allowing them to enjoy afternoon tea.
The children’s quarters burst with color and creativity, featuring playful wallpaper and delightful wall art, along with two single beds and a childproof wooden floor, making the space both safe and interesting for kids.
Guests enjoy private suites with separate entrances, offering peace and seclusion. The simple decor, distinct from the main lavish style, features a bean bag in a large space, providing rustic comfort.
The numerous bathrooms offer great convenience, each exquisitely decorated. The interiors feature windows styled like church stained glass and walls lined with mirrors, creating a bright and spacious place.
The porch, beautifully renovated by the previous couple, features wicker lounge chairs adorned with chintz cushions, a lovely rug, and an eccentric parrot sculpture. It's the perfect place to enjoy views of the gardens and nearby Long Island Sound.
A standout feature of the mansion is the outdoor pool, a simple rectangular design that's been there for decades, with minimal decoration and original paving stones still intact. The area, complete with a lounge area and manicured lawn, was once mentioned by Ivana as the children’s favorite spot to hang out.
More entertaining areas were designed by the new owners after the Trumps. Imagine watching your favorite films or even presidential debates in a private home theater—perfect for hosting gatherings and enjoying cinematic experiences.
Relax with a game of pool by the cozy fireplace. This play zone is suitable for guests of all ages. Perhaps Tesla founder Musk also played billiards with Trump here.
Stay active in the well-equipped fitness room, which offers stunning views of the Long Island Sound, making workouts both invigorating and inspiring.
No matter the weather, enjoy a swim in the mansion’s expansive indoor pool, bathed in the sunlight. It’s a luxurious feature that ensures year-round enjoyment.
A private tennis court has been added outside, completing this Greenwich estate and offering residents the chance to enjoy the sport in their own backyard.
Perched on a peninsula, the property boasts spectacular views of the Long Island Sound and includes a deep-water dock, combining waterfront beauty with ultimate privacy. This estate truly offers the best of both worlds, making it a perfect retreat.
Ivana sold the estate after their 1992 divorce in 1998 for $15M (about $28M today). The new owners listed it in 2009 and, by 2014, tried to leverage "Trump fever" by asking $54M, but found no buyers. Experts cited the outdated lavish decor and high price as deterrents. This year, after a 15-year selling, the estate sold for $31.5M. The buyer's identity remains undisclosed.
