Mark Zuckerberg is the buyer of the most expensive home sold in DC this year, according to Politico.
Politico is reporting that Zuckerberg purchased a home in Massachusetts Avenue Heights near Embassy Row in early March for $23 million. At the time, UrbanTurf reported on the sale, but it was a pretty short article, as there wasn't much information about the house and listing agent Daniel Heider did not respond to requests for comment.
The home technically went on the market on Monday, went under contract on Tuesday and then closed on Wednesday. What that means is that the home sold off-market (likely for all-cash), but was entered into the multiple listing service (MLS) so the sale could be publicly recorded.
A home at the address sold back in 2013, but a new house looks to have been built in its place between 2015-2017. The MLS listing didn't provide any details about the house other than the address, and public records show that the home was owned through an LLC and purchased through another LLC.
The listing is located not far from the DC residence for PayPal founder Peter Thiel and joins a number of high-priced listings to have sold in this tony area in recent years.
