$9.4 million, Berkley
A nearly three-acre parcel of undeveloped land is hard to come by in Northwest DC, but Eugene and Carol Ludwig bought one on Foxhall Road for $3.5 million in the fall of 1999. A 13,000-square-foot, five-bedroom home now stands on the property. The stone-and-shingle estate is a few doors down from the Spanish ambassador’s residence and the Kreeger Museum.
Eugene Ludwig is the founder and CEO of Promontory Financial Group, an international consulting firm. He served as comptroller of the currency for five years during the administration of former Yale Law School buddy Bill Clinton.
