Thanks to a reader for sending this one in. She also notes this home made the Wall Street Journal. Last week’s house porn is going to be very tough to beat. What do you guys think of this one? I’m digging the pool, not so much the kitchen…

Locally I prefer NPR and WPFW. I also listen to Seattle's KEXP on the internet.
The good- Nice pool, location and size.
The bad- Ugly interiors, nothing matches every room looks like it belongs in a different house. The kitchen is crazy.
The ugly- 9 million dollars
Wow, awesome house.
Not that i live in the same world as someone who could afford this, but i’m not seeing a $9 million house here. Sure, it’s pretty, and has several bedrooms and a pool, and it’s in Georgetown, but still… yeah, I’m bloviating.
no matter how much anyone bashes this house, I will remain in the covet category. I can deal with a few revisions, but seriously, G-town living with a yard, pool AND 4 car parking?
And the pool is so bad ass, it has an automatic cover… don’t forget about the staff quarters too for all your poors on staff.
The other thing that boggles the mind… if you do “birds eye view” on of the neighbors has a tennis court! In georgetown! I love how the flaunt their pricey land!
strike my covet… Its now reserved for last week’s house porn…
Do want.
I despair of understanding the decorating tastes of the fantastically wealthy. The living room made me giggle: they’re so rich that they have hardwood floors — *on the ceiling* !
It’s difficult to put any price on a house like this, with these amenities, in this location. Personally if I had that much scratch I’d be moving to the suburbs, possibly in a different country. But an above-adequate house in that location is priceless, if you’re busy grasping the Levers of Power every day.
I’d say good deal $3.5 million. It’s fabulous, but not spectacular.
The kitchen and upstairs baths are my versions of 1980s hell, but I figure if you’ve got $9M for a house, you probably can pull together an extra 250k to make those spaces live up to the rest of the joint. While the pool and yard clearly are highlights, don’t sleep on that library. I’d pull out the pipe and smoking jacket nightly if I had a room like that.
I’m guessing it’s priced way too high, though. $9M will buy you a lot more house in a lot of places. Maybe this becomes an ambassador’s residence. I’ll predict a sale price that is at least a half million lower than the current list price.
staff=servants. Why do people in Washington need servants?
No wonder the kitchen looks like crap! They never cook.
Maybe they’ll make a Victorian-era porno in here.
Edward: “My Josephine, I am growing tired of playing the piano forte! Shall we have a romp in the library?”….
At 4,741 finished square feet, that would be $1,887/sq. ft.
Add in the unfinished footage, and it’s still at $1,341/sq. ft.
There are only two other homes in 20007 that are anywhere near that, both are listed for $6m, and both have been on the market for nearly half a year.
It’s nice, but, to put things in perspective, you could buy nearly 9 $1million houses for the same price…
Oh, come on. Who wouldn’t pay that much to have a heated pool in your backyard!
What’s up with everything having this crazy sheen to it. Check out the walls in that sitting room. Do they just high gloss everything?
If I had $9 million to spend, I would pick last week’s house over this one — but this one is pretty sweet.
Last week’s house was much better. I do like the backyard and the patio though.
I think it is overpriced even considering size, location, and amenities. What the price should be I am not sure.
This is a house with schizophrenic decor. Obviously some things haven’t been updated in a while while the decor choices don’t seem to connect one to another. Traditional living room furniture but a bright blue modern figurine? Wood paneled library with that modern black and red rug?
