LOS ANGELES - The widow of producer Aaron Spelling paid a whopping $47 million for a two-story condo atop a Century City residential tower that’s still under construction, her lawyer said.

The price paid by Candy Spelling for the 16,500-square-foot property works out to $2,848 a square foot, a record price for a Los Angeles condo unit, the Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday.

The previous record of $2,700 was set at the same Century tower project in February.

Spelling will move into her unit in about a year, her attorney Stephen Goldberg said.

The condo isn’t the first record-breaking residence for Spelling. Her current abode, a 123-room mansion that she and her husband dubbed “The Manor,” is the largest home in Los Angeles County at 56,500 square feet.

The house in the affluent Holmby Hills neighborhood sits on six acres and has 11 bedrooms, 16 bathrooms and amenities such as a bowling alley, doll museum and gift-wrapping room.

Related Cos., developer of the Century project, said Spelling’s new digs will have a living room with two working fireplaces, a dining room for 25 guests, a 4,000-square-foot master bedroom suite and a conservatory with a rose garden, as well as a swimming pool and deck.

Goldberg said Spelling was moving in order to downscale her living space after her husband’s death in 2006. She’ll now seek to sell her lavish estate, which was built between 1986 and 1990, he said.
