Maybe we just don’t hear much about scandals, which shake regular families, but somehow, whenever an expensive piece of property is up for sale, it often has a saga attached to its image.
The townhouse in question is located in Manhattan, NY in close proximity to 5th Avenue, and is for sale for $64 million dollars.
The house boasts 17 bathrooms, 15-bedrooms, a ballroom, some more rooms, marble staircase, rooftop garden, seven fireplaces and an elevator. Also, the five-story, limestone house also has a stained-glass skylight and a wood-paneled ballroom with original oil-painted murals. Many original details.
All of it contained in 18,500sq ft.
Here is a little bit of the history:
The mansion on E.68th St. belonged to Henry T. Sloane.
“Heir of a luxury furniture emporium that decorated the White House, Sloane had the townhouse constructed in 1905, shortly after his marriage to Jesse Sloane ended in a scandal when she remarried five hours after their divorce.
Sloane, who never married again, lived in the townhouse with his two daughters, who he barred from seeing their mother until they turned 21.
A developer bought the house in 2003 for $7.6 million. It was sold last year for $39 million to the investment group, which restored it to a single-family home.”
If you click here NY Daily News, you may see a picture of the house and a magnificent ballroom.
