DC Has A New(ish) Most Expensive Home For Sale
Evermay
If you are looking to own one of the largest single-family homes in Georgetown, and have a budget of about $26 million, this post may pique your interest.
The Evermay estate, which has been on and off the market since October 2008, has been put back up for sale for $25.9 million. The 3.5-acre estate at 1623 28th Street NW is now available at about a 50 percent discount from its original list price ($49 million).

Evermay’s history goes all the way back to the late 18th century. The land where the residence now sits was purchased in 1790 by Scottish businessman Samuel Davidson, and the home was completed in the early 1800s. In 1923, Evermay was purchased by diplomat F. Lammot Belin and it is still owned by the Belin family. No one lives there now, and in recent years, the estate has just been used for exclusive parties and fundraisers.
Evermay is now the most expensive home for sale within the DC borders, unseating this $15.5 million manse in Dupont Circle. Evermay was mentioned as a possible option for Oprah Winfrey when it was rumored that she was DC house hunting in 2008, but maybe now it is something that would interest Donald Trump.
