[Washington Business Journal] Yes, our D.C. and Northern, VA ruling class lives a bit differently, but you knew that. Long & Foster can tell you more, much more.

#5  Old Georgetown saying, "if you can afford to live here you don't ask the price". These people have second and third homes also. 3-4 car garages also but not shown. Elevators, pools and so on. With these people money marries money.

#4  Beautiful library, though. Too bad it doesn't have any, uh, books or bookshelves.

#3  Intrigued by the baby grand and the harp in the marble-floored open entrance hall. Must have great acoustics there; obviously designed by someone with a deep love of fine musical experiences. Or else a whorehouse designer.

Not sure that our wannabe oligarch's family would feel safe with this feature: basement BR with kitchen for live-in help

... unless of course the owner is a Saudi sheiklet and the live-in help is actually a Filipino slave

#2  It appears to me that the furnishings are rented fo display the purpose of the rooms — some rooms are too matched, and others not matched enough. And nobody with the taste displayed in the other rooms would put those particular rugs anywhere — they appear left over from that purple-and-green period in the 1990s.

#1  Your Homeland Security $$ at Work Play

Q: Why is there a tartan rug in #13? Who the hell puts tartan on the floor-- a little in-joke against the Scots?
