Armeane and Mary Choksi
$8 million, Kalorama
This Tudor-style DC mansion made headlines in 2009 when TV’s Connie Chung and Maury Povich—both Washington natives—announced that they had the house under contract. But they never showed up. Their son was accepted into a posh private school in Manhattan, keeping them there at least four more years. A few months later, Armeane and Mary Choksi bought the seven-bedroom, 11-bath home for $8.5 million. The 8,200-square-foot residence has a swimming pool and a koi pond with a waterfall.
A former executive vice president at the World Bank, Choksi has experience in foreign affairs that should serve him well at block parties—neighbors include the Embassy of Benin and the French ambassador’s residence.
