Re: A Beauty For Sale In Washington, D.C.

A beautiful house in a well-to-do part of Washington, DC.  It's 1/2 mile from 3201 Woodland Drive where four murders and a fire occurred in 2015.  It was big news at the time, you may remember it. A couple in their 40's, their young son, and their housekeeper died, apparently tortured by a home invader before the house was set ablaze.  The case was called the "Mansion Murders.".

I'm in Maryland and remember that terrible event.

 

While it is a stunning home and I love DC, it is "city" living at it's best and worst.

Unfortunately, no one in any area of the country is immune/safe from violence.

 

If you believe otherwise, you are kidding yourself.
