By • November 28, 2022 0 2254
One great facet of D.C. real estate is that the houses are often grand and downright awe-inspiring. A recent listing and one contingent sale hold up to the grandeur: one, a Georgetown condo and former home to previous U.S. Secretary of Education (2017-2021) Betsy DeVos and the other a former home to Swedish Ambassadors to the United States.
Starting closer to home, DeVos’s condo in The Washington Harbour Building shows off her wealth (in case you don’t know, DeVos’s father founded Prince Corporation, an automotive parts group, and her husband is the son of Amway’s co-founder Richard DeVos).
