The homes are owned by four families who listed them together. The residence at 2949 Albemarle also is being listed individually for $2.15 million. Seven embassies have looked at the estate, and Tutt, Taylor & Rankin Sotheby’s International, the listing company, expects an embassy to end up buying it.

Seems like these properties would make a perfect ’family compound’ for 4 families of relatives or friends who want to live ’together’, but not in the same house. From visiting the properties, it’s clear this is a great package -- wish I had the client(s) who want something like this!
