Can we talk?
The Versailles-styled penthouse triplex of the late, great comedian Joan Rivers has just received a ghostly price chop — of $3.5 million.
But you’ll still need a princely sum to buy the posh pad. It is now on the market for $34.5 million, down from its original $38 million asking price.
The seller, we hear, is a member of the Saudi royal family — Prince Muhammad bin Fahd, son of the late King Fahd and former governor of the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, according to reports, who paid $28 million for the palatial penthouse in 2015.
The lavishly decorated home, at 1 E. 62nd St., off of Fifth Avenue, is inside a massive 42-foot-wide limestone mansion that dates to 1903, designed by architect Horace Trumbauer in neo-French Classic style.
Rivers once described her home décor vibe as “Louis XIV meets Fred and Ginger,” Page Six noted.
The queen of comedy decorated the 5,200-square-foot triplex from scratch as a labor of love and made it fit for a princess — including those she entertained at home, like Princess Diana. Rivers bought it in 1988, a year after the death of her husband Edgar Rosenberg.
She lived there for 28 years and even served as the condo board president before her death at age 81 in 2014.
For many years, Rivers said her home was haunted by the ghost of Mrs. Spencer, J.P. Morgan’s niece and the first resident of the 42-foot-wide John R. Drexel mansion.
Gimme once walked through the palatial digs and saw where Rivers stored many of her jokes, written on card files. But no sign of Mrs. Spencer.
Before Rivers passed, she told broker Dolly Lenz about the ghost who “hung around her bedroom. She’d sit beside Joan and watch her put on her makeup. It was a very long process,” Lenz told Gimme.
The four-bedroom, five-bath penthouse comes with five fireplaces. A private elevator opens to an entry hall that leads to a two-story gallery adjacent to a ballroom. Both rooms boast 23-foot-high ceilings, woodburning fireplaces and parquet de Versailles floors. Rivers entertained many celebrities from her regal home.
There’s also a corner paneled library and a formal dining room with 18th-century French panels and additional woodburning fireplaces along with a terrace. Upstairs, a main bedroom suite overlooks a landscaped terrace with Central Park and city skyline views.
The penthouse also features a corner home office and a sitting room with a wood-burning fireplace.
