"Can we talk?" Joan is well known for her tasteful glamor, and her stunning New York penthouse is certainly no exception to her reputation of demanding and recognizing elegance. At age 79, Joan, with her devil-may-care attitude keeps us howling as she continues to become even more outrageous with every passing year.

Only steps from Fifth Avenue, the apartment is a penthouse in one of the few remaining cherished pre-war mansions designed by Horace Trumbaur. At 5,190sf, the apartment is reached by private elevator. Joan had the architectural details restored by museum-trained artisans, so every detail has been carefully embellished. Period decorating adorns but with today’s preference for a light enhancing palette. Rooms are huge with 23’ ceilings, parquet-de-Versailles flooring and huge windows to allow maximum daylight. The large reception room has its own fireplace and 2-story ceiling and adjoins the elegant living room with its own fireplace. Most rooms are graced with grand fireplaces as they were the only source of heat in the era when the mansion was built. One will also discover a main floor formal dining room and library, each with their fireplaces and each overlooking a south facing private terrace. A corner sitting room adjoins two ensuite bedrooms Upstairs is the lush master suite with another terrace and a corner office.
