Ghislaine Maxwell’s former Upper East Side mansion is back on the market.
Manhattan real estate mogul Frederick Rudd snagged the digs on East 65th Street from Maxwell for $15 million in 2016 – $4 million under asking price.
Rudd, 70, died last year of complications from heart disease, and the townhouse is on sale again for $17.75 million, The Post has learned.
The listing describes the luxurious five-story home, whose neighbors have included Bill Cosby and Rudy Giuliani, as a “stunning 1910 Beaux-Arts-style limestone and brick townhouse … situated on one of Manhattan’s most coveted tree-lined streets.”
It makes no mention of its past — though the agent insisted twice in the listing the pad is “fully renovated.”
The main floor of the 7,000-square-foot house boasts high ceilings, two fireplaces and white oak flooring — “creating a perfect setting for sophisticated entertaining,” according to the listing.
Maxwell is known to have hosted private dinners, cocktail parties and charity receptions there, like a 2013 launch party overflowing with Dom Perignon champagne, with guests over the years including the president and first lady of Iceland, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and actress Kelly Rutherford.
The mansion has a separate service entrance for staff and a 750-square-foot garden.
The master suite spans the entire third floor, and features “a corridor of closets” leading to the “serene” bedroom, while the entire fourth floor is reserved for guest bedrooms.
A lawyer for pedophile Jeffrey Epstein gave the 5-bedroom 6-bathroom townhouse in 2000 to the disgraced British socialite, who has allegedly never earned or inherited enough to make the purchase on her own.
Her father, publishing tycoon Robert Maxwell, drowned off his yacht in 1991, exposing the collapse of his empire and the embezzlement of his employees’ pension funds, prompting Maxwell to flee to the Big Apple where she became romantically involved with Epstein before assuming the role of his madam.
Maxwell, 63, was arrested in July 2020 and sentenced to 20 years in prison in June 2022 for trafficking young girls for Epstein to abuse.
During her trial, one of the victims testified Maxwell once told her of the mansion, just a few short blocks from Epstein’s own sex den: “Jeffrey had got it for her.”
Douglas Elliman declined to comment.
