The enormous Upper East Side apartment of deceased Irish-American heiress Huguette Clark, may sell for only $60 million, the New York Post reports.

The 15,000 square feet apartment contains forty-two rooms inside a limestone prewar co-op at 907 Fifth Avenue. With views of Central Park the elaborate space includes a 30-foot library, a 40-foot drawing room and a 40-foot living room. Building staff reported seeing Huguette only a few times in decades.

While the prime real estate was expected to sell for $100 million sources tell the New York Post that it is estimated to be worth $45 million to $60 million as the space consists of three unconnected apartments.

The building’s co-op board have not yet ruled on whether or not the two eighth floor apartments can be joined. There is also an additional 12th floor apartment that could be sold for $25 million.
