When Huguette Clark died at the age of 104 last year, all eyes were on her estate, and specifically her massive 5th Avenue apartments that have long been shrouded in mystery. Curbed now points to the 17,000 square foot mansion's floor plans, which the Real Deal got a hold of recently. The space is separated into three apartments, but the reclusive Clark was the only inhabitant of all three... unless you count her dolls. That's right, there was a creepy doll collection, which the cleaning staff (the only people allowed inside the hospitalized heiress's digs) attended to. Appraiser and real estate broker Barbara Fox declared, "There were dolls everywhere"—she is one of the only realtors allowed inside of the space, which the site offers a little history on:
When 907 Fifth Avenue went co-op in the 1950s, Huguette Clark and her mother, Anna La Chapelle Clark, purchased the three spaces they were renting: Both of the apartments that comprise the eighth floor—giving them an eye-popping total of 10,000 square feet on that level—plus a half-floor unit on the 12th floor, the building’s top story. At some point, they added more bedrooms to their 12th-floor space, bringing it to roughly 7,000 square feet, said Key Ventures’ Larry Kaiser, who said he’s sold some 14 apartments in the building over the years. Anna died in the 1960s, and Clark—Anna’s only surviving child—inherited all three apartments.
The three apartments will be put on the market separately, and are each expected to go for "tens of millions of dollars." Dolls not included.
