The Most Expensive Condo Ever Listed in DC

One of the most expensive listings sold in the region this year was also the most expensive condo ever listed in DC. Penthouse 2C at the Ritz-Carlton in Georgetown sold earlier this year for $11 million, after being listed for $14.5 million. One of five penthouses at the Ritz-Carlton, the 5,500 square-foot home is the combination of two units purchased in 2006 by philanthropist Michelle Smith. Smith, who died in 2020, was the daughter of Robert H. Smith, who developed much of Crystal City. In addition to 5,500 square feet of interior space, the condo has an 1,800 square-foot terrace with views of the Potomac River. Smith invested approximately $20 million into the purchase, renovation and build out of the residence.

20,000 Square Feet in McLean

Federal Hill is a new 20,000 square-foot home where very little expense was spared in the construction. All seven bedrooms are en-suite with the primary suite taking up an entire wing of the house and featuring a separate sitting room with a fireplace, an expansive bedroom with a fireplace, a coffee bar, and two large dressing rooms. There is a ballroom on the third level with a self-contained cigar room, and the lower level has a dry sauna, steam room and exercise room, as well as a wine cellar, safe room, home theatre, and a billiards room. Outside, there is a large pool and spa area, as well as an expansive lawn. The home sold back in January for $11 million.
