Donald Trump’s former ‘starter mansion’ has been put on the market for $54million, according to listing agent Tamar Laurie. 

The impressive 20,000-square-foot Greenwich, Connecticut, estate has eight bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, a putting green, movie theater, tennis courts and three staff apartments.

Donald and Ivana Trump bought the 5.8-acre estate in 1982 for $4million, according to Business Insider.  

Ivana Trump then refurbished the home – originally built in 1939 – with the same materials used to renovate Manhattan’s Plaza Hotel around the same time. 

She then got the mansion as part of the couple’s divorce in 1991 and sold it seven years later for $15million.

When the new owners renovated the place in 2000, they added tennis courts, guest rooms and an indoor lap pool. The current owners, who have remained anonymous, listed the home with Tamar Laurie of Coldwell Banker.
