Priced at $25 million, the property in McLean is nestled in Langley Farms— an area many political heavyweights, philanthropists and sports stars call home.
The developers, The Building Group, Inc., gave News4 a tour of the 10-bedroom estate in the coveted neighborhood. The home is listed by TTR Sotheby’s International Realty agents Mark Lowham and Daniel Heider.
This architecture feat is The Building Group, Inc.'s flagship project. The McLean construction firm focuses on high-square-footage mansions inspired by 19th-century European housing trends.
