Amazing 'WOW' House in DC's Woodley Park Going For $12 Million

WASHINGTON, DC — It definitely costs a bundle to get a large house in a swank D.C. neighborhood like Woodley Park, and this huge mansion just a stone's throw from the National Zoo is proof of that: the cushy abode is listed for an astonishing $12 million.

As they say in real estate, location location location, and this mansion at 2850 Woodland Drive NW certainly has that. But even with a great location, you need a luxurious, spacious home to fetch that kind of money, and this property earns a checkmark there with seven beds to go along with seven full and three half baths over 10,300 square feet and a full acre of land -- a rarity in a packed city like D.C., according to the Realtor.com listing.

It's been around for a little a bit, dating all the way back to the Calvin Coolidge administration in 1927 when it was built.

The house features "magnificent entertaining and family spaces with grounds views from all rooms," the listing states, noting that it has 12-foot-high ceilings and views of Rock Creek Park, with nice little extras like a 12-seat theater, a library and even quarters for a staff to maintain the property.

This mansion definitely has curb appeal, being built in the "Beaux-Arts" style, which refers to a type of architecture popularized in Paris centuries ago and seen a lot in U.S. architecture during that time period, including Grand Central Station in New York.
