Happy holidays to you and yours! I hope you are finding new ways to enjoy the season and connect with family and friends this year. I’m going to keep my final post of 2020 light and take a look at the most expensive sales in the DMV in 2020, something we all enjoy doing!
Despite its Missing Ultra High-End Market [sarcasm], Arlington boasts the most expensive sale in the DMV in 2020, by a LOT, with the sale of a massive estate along the Potomac River for $45 million. This price tag earns the new owner over 31,000 square feet of living space, 3.2 acres, a 30-car garage and gorgeous views of the Potomac River.
Top 5 Most Expensive Sales in Arlington
Arlington’s five most expensive sales in 2020 include the region-leading $45 million sale mentioned above and four sales ranging from $2.88 million to $3.35 million, including two condos in Rosslyn’s iconic Turnberry Tower.
Top 5 Most Expensive Sales in Alexandria
Alexandria’s five most expensive sales in 2020 include four homes in Alexandria’s new waterfront condo and townhouse community, Robinson Landing, and one incredibly unique single-family home on ¼ acre in the heart of Old Town (pictured below).
Top 5 Most Expensive Homes in Fairfax County
Fairfax County’s five most expensive sales in 2020 include three homes in Great Falls and two homes in McLean ranging from $5.6 million to $24 million. Pictured below is what $7 million gets you in Great Falls — over 20,000 square feet, 5 acres, and stunning landscape and architectural design.
Top 5 Most Expensive Homes in Loudoun County
Loudoun County’s five most expensive sales in 2020 include sales ranging from $3.75 million to $16 million. At a price tag of $16 million, you could have secured a 1,550-plus acre cattle farm in Upperville, surrounded by vineyards and a short drive to Middleburg.
Top 5 Most Expensive Homes in Washington D.C.
Washington D.C.’s five most expensive sales in 2020 range from $6.1 million to $17.75 million, with Georgetown commanding four of those sales. Want a 10,000-square-foot home with a detached two-car garage and 6/10th of an acre in Georgetown? That’ll run you $17.75 million in 2020.
Top 5 Most Expensive Homes in Montgomery County
Montgomery County’s five most expensive sales in 2020 range from $5.475 million to $15 million, including my personal favorite, a $10 million mansion on Chevy Chase Circle sitting on nearly two acres (pictured below).
Top 5 Most Expensive Homes in the DMV, Outside the Greater D.C. Metro
The DMV’s five most expensive sales in 2020, outside the greater D.C. metro area, range from $6.2 million to $10 million, including four homes fronting the Chesapeake Bay. My personal favorite, pictures below, is a 36-acre waterfront estate just outside of St. Michaels, and includes a WWII replica fighter plane hung from the ceiling of the great room.
I hope that was a fun tour through 2020’s most expensive homes in the DMV! Happy New Year, everybody!
