Mansion Of Former Nats Great Is A Grand Slam: VA/DC Dream Homes

VIRGINIA/DC — With baseball's opening day coming this week, the McLean home of a former Washington Nationals great needs a new owner.

Former outfielder Jayson Werth bought the house after he signed a contract with the Nats before the 2011 season. Werth, who won a World Series with the Phillies before coming over to the Nats, is starting his fourth year of retirement and has made plans to move on from his time in the D.C. area.

Updated in 2012, Werth's McLean estate offers great levels of privacy, security and tranquility. The home's outdoors is ideal for pool parties, cook-outs with large or small groups of friends or just basking in the sun alone with a good book.

Another of this week's featured dream homes is located near the campus of University of Mary Washington in downtown Fredericksburg. This 75-year-old Colonial has a screened-in porch, a brick patio, a hot tub and walkways that stretch throughout the property.

With the weather warming up and more houses going up for sale, Patch has put together a collection of homes currently on the market in Northern Virginia and D.C. You can find photo galleries of properties in the listings linked in each article.
