$19M Mansion Is DC's Most Expensive Home For Sale

D.C.’s most expensive piece of real estate for sale is a seven-bedroom mansion in northeast Georgetown. It costs a chunk of change, but pennies compared to the nine-figure properties in some of America’s hottest real estate markets.

Known as the "Hollerith House" and nestled just across Rock Creek from the famous Kalorama neighborhood, the home is on sale for nearly $19 million, according to PropertyShark and Sotheby's. The real estate website analyzed active listings across the U.S. to identify the most expensive home for sale in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

According to PropertyShark, the homes range between $3.5 million to $500 million. The $500 million home is a Los Angeles property called “The One.” The home has “20 bedrooms, four swimming pools, an in-home theater, four-lane bowling alley, a private nightclub complete with VIP room, 30-car garage, actual moats and even jellyfish aquariums as ceilings,” PropertyShark writes.

Here’s more information on the D.C. listing from Sotheby's: "Positioned on one of the highest points and largest estate sites in historic Georgetown, Hollerith House is one of Washington’s most iconic residences. From this prominent location, several rooms offer spectacular views of the Capital, Washington Monument, the Kennedy Center, and the Potomac River. In addition to its notable provenance, the estate was totally renovated over three years to exacting standards and features state of the art systems and features expected among the world’s most important properties.

"Inventor Herman Hollerith built this iconic Georgetown mansion in 1911 after establishing himself as one of the most prolific inventors at the turn of the century. Mr. Hollerith invented the punch card for use by the Census Bureau in the late 1800s, and went on to invent a tabulating machine which then became the technology standard leading to the creation of IBM."
