The picture that you see above is one of the last great private houses in Paris and has been listed for $140 million.

It is located on the famous Avenue Foch. This house was built by Duchesse de Montmorency way back in 1912. After the Duchess’ death in 1927, this house was bought by mining tycoon and avid art collector Antenor Patino. This house is being offered by Christie’s Great Estates affiliate Daniel Féau. The house is pretty huge with nearly 28,000 square feet of internal living space that includes 12 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, as well as 4 staff quarters.

Since the house is quite old, it has those old world charm like wood panelling, marble fireplaces, high ceilings paintings by French Post-Impressionist painter Henri Rousseau.
