Ghislaine Maxwell’s Former Mansion on the Market Again
The Upper East Side mansion previously owned by Ghislaine Maxwell has returned to the real estate market.
Manhattan real estate mogul Frederick Ladd purchased the property on East 65th Street from Maxwell in 2016 for $15 million. Ladd, who unfortunately passed away last year due to complications from heart disease, had the townhouses listed for $17.75 million, according to reports.
The listing highlights the stunning five-story residence, located on one of Manhattan’s most desirable tree-lined streets, alongside neighbors such as Bill Cosby and Rudy Giuliani. It boasts a 1910 Beaux Arts-style limestone and brick design.
Interestingly, the past of the property isn’t mentioned in the listing—though the agent assures potential buyers that it has been “completely refurbished.”
Spanning about 7,000 square feet, the home features a main floor with high ceilings, two fireplaces, and white oak floors, creating what the listing describes as an ideal space for sophisticated entertaining.
Maxwell was known for hosting private dinners, cocktail parties, and charity events, including a notable launch party in 2013 that featured Iceland’s President and First Lady, as well as figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and actress Kelly Rutherford.
Additionally, the mansion includes a separate service entrance for staff and a quaint 750-square-foot garden.
The master suite occupies the entire third floor, connected to a “closet hallway” that leads to a tranquil bedroom. Guest bedrooms are situated on the fourth floor, providing ample space.
Notably, Maxwell—who has faced serious legal issues—was initially unable to purchase the townhouse herself in 2000, despite claiming it as a lucrative investment.
She was arrested in July 2020 and subsequently sentenced to 20 years in June 2022 for her role in trafficking a young girl for Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse.
One victim testified during the trial that Maxwell claimed Epstein had arranged for the mansion to be acquired.
Douglas Elliman, the real estate firm handling the listing, did not provide any comments regarding the property.
