Mark Zuckerberg Buys $23M Mansion in Washington, D.C.’s Elite Woodland Normanstone Neighborhood
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta Platforms, has quietly become one of Washington, D.C.’s newest high-profile residents. According to public records reviewed in early March, a red-brick estate in the prestigious Woodland Normanstone neighborhood sold for $23 million—purchased through an entity named Redbrick Corner, LLC. Though Meta declined to confirm the exact property, a spokesperson acknowledged that Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, had recently acquired a home in the nation’s capital.
“Mark and Priscilla have purchased a home in D.C., which will allow Mark to spend more time there as Meta continues the work on policy issues related to American technology leadership,” a Meta spokesperson told Mansion Global.
The five-bedroom, seven-and-a-half-bathroom residence spans 11,000 square feet and includes a 4,800-square-foot finished lower level. Built in 2017, the property blends traditional red-brick architecture with modern farmhouse details. The listing was active for just one day, reflecting the intense demand for high-end homes in the area.
Tucked near the U.S. Naval Observatory and surrounded by numerous embassy residences, Woodland Normanstone is one of D.C.’s most exclusive pockets—home to just 160 properties, 24 of which serve diplomatic functions.
Daniel Heider of TTR Sotheby’s International Realty represented the seller, while Michael Rankin of the same firm handled the buyer’s side of the transaction. Neither agent has commented publicly on the sale.
The acquisition coincides with a broader luxury real estate boom in the Washington region. Data from HRLS Partners shows that 18 homes priced at $6 million or more have gone under contract in the area this year—double the figure from the same period last year. According to HRLS co-founder Robert Hryniewicki, many of these buyers are not affiliated with the current presidential administration but are choosing to establish a stronger presence in D.C. for professional or strategic reasons.
Zuckerberg’s move also aligns with his increased visits to Washington in recent years. Since attending Donald Trump’s inauguration, he has reportedly visited the White House multiple times and traveled to Mar-a-Lago. According to The Wall Street Journal, Zuckerberg is currently lobbying Trump and other key officials in hopes of securing a settlement that would allow Meta to avoid a major antitrust trial.
The D.C. residence is the latest addition to Zuckerberg’s expansive real estate portfolio, which also includes homes in Palo Alto, Hawaii, and Lake Tahoe.
