Dan Snyder, former owner of the Commanders, is selling his sprawling mansion in Mount Vernon.
The home at 7979 E. Boulevard Dr. is listed for $60 million, making it the highest-priced listing in the region. Snyder bought the property, originally listed for $60 million, for $48 million in 2021.
River View, a 16,000-square-foot home, is situated on 16.5 acres of George Washington’s original Mount Vernon estate along the Potomac River. The eight-bedroom estate with nine full bathrooms and six half bathrooms also features a few updates, including a commercial chef’s kitchen and updated audio-visual equipment in the 15-seat movie theater.
The commercial chef’s kitchen was added alongside the original kitchen, making it even more expansive, with plenty of room for caterers to set up for any grand parties.
A wood-paneled reception room leads to an open circular room with views of the water and gardens; terraces with water views are accessible from almost every room in the house, as well.
The sprawling outdoor gardens, impeccably manicured, also have several spots that are perfect for admiring the water while enjoying a morning cup of coffee or evening glass of wine. The property has 400 feet of water frontage.
Off the workout room, you will find an indoor resistance pool, spa, steam room and infrared sauna.
A game room, with handcrafted stone walls and wood-beamed ceilings, comes with a pool table, full bar, and two TVs, one mounted between the windows so you can watch the game as well as the river.
The property includes a 2,600-square-foot three-bedroom, three-bath guest house. The carriage house with parking for four vehicles has a studio apartment.
The Federal-style home, designed by architect Jim Rill and built in 2018 by West Wing Builders, integrates eco-sustainability technology. The home has geothermal heating and a state-of-the-art well system. It also features backup generators, security systems, utilities, and entertainment systems controlled by a central computer bank.
