LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Candy Spelling will be selling the mansion she lived in with her late husband, Aaron Spelling, she confirmed to Access Hollywood.

“Yes,” she replied when asked if she was selling the 56,000 square-foot home named The Manor, which Aaron had built in 1983 on a six-acre Holmby Hills locale.

Speculation was rife that Candy planned to sell the home after her television mogul husband passed away in 2006, but she and reps for the family quickly shot down the rumors at the time.

Now, however, with news she has just purchased a 16,000 square-foot condo in Los Angeles, Candy confirmed she will be moving on from her palatial estate. She’s just not sure when exactly.

“I haven’t really put it on the auction block so to speak,” she told Access. “I’m kind of listening to everybody’s dog and pony show [to] see what happens. I’m not in a rush. It’s at the end of ‘09 when the apartment is ready.”

In 2006, the Manor was worth a reported $150 million.

She purchased her new condo for $47 million.

And downsizing is something Candy is very much ready for.

“I’m kind of looking forward to it,” she said. “It’s kind of like a medium sized bed and breakfast… I love my house dearly. I put a lot of heart and soul in it, and a lot of guts in it, and I’d be happy for someone else to enjoy it like I did.”
