Can we talk?<\/p>\n

That signature line from iconic comedian Joan Rivers nearly echoes off the walls as you peek inside her former, one-of-a-kind apartment at the edge of Manhattan\u2019s Central Park.<\/p>\n

Although she died in 2014, the unique luxury residence is still making headlines\u2014and it recently turned up for a market encore, priced at $34.5 million.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIt\u2019s amazing and unique,\u201d says listing agent Jenny Lenz, of Dolly Lenz real estate. \u201cThere is nothing like it anywhere else in New York.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n

That\u2019s not hard to believe. After Rivers\u2019 death, the ornate, 2.5-story, nearly 5,100-square-foot penthouse hit the market for $28 million. Many of her treasured possessions remained in the residence, as did her splendid interior style. The current owners saved quite a few of those pieces and may offer them them for sale beyond the purchase price.<\/p>\n

The famous, limestone-clad, 12-unit building sits on a beautiful, Upper East Side street.<\/p>\n

It was designed in 1910 by esteemed architect Horace Trumbauer in the neo-French Classic style, which Rivers melded with an opulent, Gilded Age motif. And voila! The apartment is beyond compare.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt looks like Versailles,\u201d says Lenz, who adds that the spacious stone terraces (recently redone, by the way) create the feel of an \u201cItalian piazza.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n

Rivers had the orignal architectural detail carefully restored by museum-trained artisans, and the result is a spectacularly ornate residence with a dramatic, two-story gallery and living room\u2014all lavishly arranged within 23-foot ceilings and parquet-de-Versailles flooring.<\/p>\n

\u201cIts light and scale are irreplaceable,\u201d says Lenz, adding that the unique illumination from the huge windows cannot be found elsewhere in New York.<\/p>\n

Other notable features include five wood-burning fireplaces; a paneled library; the formal dining room with its 18th century French panels; and a luxe, second-story primary bedroom that overlooks the city and Central Park.<\/p>\n

The residence accommodates more people than most luxury flats in Manhattan, as it features five bedrooms and five full baths, all with the elegant trappings of a century past\u2014but with modern conveniences.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n

There are also many luxuries in the white-glove building itself, known as The Spencer. And for those, residents will pay a lofty $16,812 monthly fee.<\/p>\n

You might be wondering why the current owners are willing to part with this unique, irreplaceable dwelling. And to that, Lenz responds that there are no true comps in all of Manhattan.<\/p>\n

She explains that the owners are European and love their rare Manhattan pied-a-terre. But once the pandemic hit, they began spending more of their time closer to family across the pond and feel that the property can be better enjoyed by someone else.<\/p>\n

Rivers, who died at age 81, was a comedian, actress, producer, and television host. Her outspoken personality and hilarious charisma made her a household name.<\/p>\n

She became a prominent red carpet commentator and co-hosted the E! network\u2019s celebrity fashion show \u201cFashion Police\u201d until 2014. She also starred in the reality series \u201cJoan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best?\u201d with daughter Melissa Rivers.<\/p>\n

The listing is held by Dolly Lenz and Jenny Lenz, of Dolly Lenz Real Estate.<\/p>\n
