7 bedroom Town House For Sale: 106..

LIMESTONE MANSION IN HEART OF PARK SLOPE With an esteemed lineage and a storied past, 106 Eighth Avenue is a rare Brooklyn treasure. Built in 1905 by society builder Louis Bonert for the furniture tycoon Henry Wallace Partridge, on land acquired from the Polhemus family, this Beaux Arts mansion has been carefully preserved and lovingly maintained. Originally built to accommodate "family, full time employees and guests", this 20 room, 7 bath, 9 fireplace, 8000 + sq. foot home retains the original detail and stunning proportions from the day it was built. Enter the grand receiving area with a massive fireplace, original mahogany carved stairway, a pristine herringbone floor made of mahogany, oak, birch and cherry, and one of Brooklyn's first private elevators allowing access to all five floors. Beyond the foyer is an expansive living area with detailed plaster molding, and fireplace. Take the stairs to the second level, and you are greeted with nineteen foot ceilings and three separate rooms, each with a fireplace. The dining room is surrounded with hand painted frescos, carved paneling, original custom built-ins and Tiffany stained glass atrium. Twelve- foot high pocket doors lead to the central hall and the large, elegant music room overlooking Eighth Avenue. The top two floors incorporate 5 bedrooms, 4 additional bathrooms, roof deck and a solarium with magnificent views of the Manhattan skyline and New York harbor. The garden floor can remain a separate au-pair suite or be incorporated back into the main home. Most recently a legal 8-family, the layout, dimensions and detail provide the flexibility for conversion to condos, back to a trophy one family property or an investment property. If you are searching for a rare and unique opportunity, 106 Eighth Avenue is a must see.
