The estate of Madeleine Albright is selling the former U.S. secretary of state’s elegant mansion in Washington, DC. The asking price is $4 million.
The first female secretary of state called the historic Georgetown residence home for more than 50 years.
During that time, Albright regularly hosted politicians, influential Washingtonians, and foreign dignitaries. She died in 2022 at the age of 84.
Standing four stories tall, the 4,800-square-foot property’s ivy-covered brick façade makes a stately first impression.
The classic Georgetown row house was built in 1853 and still maintains plenty of charming architectural details, including the interior crown molding, French doors, and a number of wood-burning fireplaces surrounded by impressive detailed millwork.
In addition to four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, the home features a formal dining room, a second-story library, and a primary suite with a newly renovated marble bathroom.

The chef’s kitchen was given an elegant overhaul by Washington, DC, architect Anne Decker. It boasts marble countertops, a central island, high-end stainless-steel appliances, glass-front cabinets, and a large pantry. An adjacent butler’s pantry provides additional storage and contains a Miele washer and dryer.
