Top Home Sales in 2011
2 01 2012Once again, the Washingtonian is reporting out on the Top Home Sales for the area and in addition to the two big huge record setting estate sales in Georgetown, there was a lot of big deals this past year!
Our fearless Redskins helped generate some real estate deals with former Redskin Clinton Portis selling in McLean for $1.7 million (at a loss no less since he bought it seven years ago for $2 million). Current Redskin Oshiomogho Atogwe bought a five-bedroom, seven-bath home in Leesburg for $1.1 million (pictured) after signing a five year deal with the team in March.
Controversial former attorney general John Ashcroft and wife Janet sold a four-bedroom, three-bath townhouse on Colonial Terrace in Arlington for $1.1 million.
Former Obama appointees Shere Abbott and James Steinberg sold a four-bedroom, four-bath Colonial on Morrison Street in Chevy Chase DC for $1.2 million.
Former DC based Volvo CEO Stefan Jacoby closed for $2.2 million on the sale of his brick four-bedroom, five-bath Federal row-house in Georgetown.
Still on the market though for a cool $5.2 million… the Georgetown home of embattled former head of the International Monetary Fund Dominique Strauss-Kahn.
