The eight-room, 11-and-a-half-bathroom mansion, located in the exclusive neighborhood of Kent in the northwest of Washington D.C., first came on the market last October for $20 million, the listing records show. It is the most expensive property currently listed in D.C., according to realtor.com.

It was relisted for $22 million right after the New Year, a 10% price increase, according to Zillow.

Listing agent Marc Fleisher of TTR Sotheby’s International Realty holds the listing, and was not immediately available to comment on the price rise.

Property records are not clear about who the current owner is.
