Thanks. Glad someone spoke up against the “everything nearby is $1.5M” chorus. To further pushback, a place a block or so away on Ellicot sold for ~$9M. That’s, IMO, a better house and with a very flat 1 acre, IMO, a much better lot.

No. It’s where the kleptocracy will torture dissidents: sleep deprivation, etc.

Probably built for some Russian oligarch, who had to back out at the last minute.

Hmmm. Because there is a buyer out there? Forest Hills has several embassy residences so they may be marketing to the diplomatic community.

I'm dying to know the background. This is such specific taste - did someone change their mind, which is why it's on the market?

Maybe that's what it was built for and the client backed out.


What client?


Figures. No builder is going to build something like that when everything else around is around 1.5 mil.
