Washington, DC, United States

The 16,250 square foot D.C. manor owned by Fox News’ journalist Bret Baier has sold for a record setting $25 million in an all cash deal as reported by Washingtonian. Baier put the 1.47 acre property on the market in October 2023 for $31.9 million before dropping to $28.99 million in February 2024. Who’s the lucky buyer? Howard Lutnick, the Cantor Fitzgerald CEO and President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for commerce secretary, according to Washingtonian. Inspired by the Château du Grand-Lucé in central France, an undisputed all-star team of artisans — interior designer Thomas Pheasant, developer Michael Banks, architect David Jones, and landscape architect Richard Arentz — collaborated over the course of three years to create the estate. The property was on the market with Daniel Heider & Jaclyn Mason of TTR Sotheby’s International Realty. Photography Credit: Studio Trejo photography + media
