A historic mansion in Washington, D.C.’s Kalorama neighborhood, which once served as the Greek Embassy, has been sold following extensive renovations.
The six-story property at 2211 Massachusetts Avenue NW was originally commissioned by Irene Rucker Sheridan, widow of Civil War General Philip Sheridan, in 1903. The mansion, completed in 1904, was home to Sheridan and her three daughters until her death in 1938. In 1949, it was sold to the Greek government and used as an auxiliary building for the neighboring Greek Embassy for nearly seven decades.
By the time it was sold in 2016, the mansion had fallen into significant disrepair. A Boston-based Greek billionaire purchased the property and initiated a substantial renovation through the real estate investment firm Marwick. The renovations stripped the six-story structure down to its core and rebuilt it with modern, upscale features. These included hardwood floors, a banister carved from a single piece of wood, mahogany doors, 16 temperature zones, new balconies, and an elevator.
The restored property was listed for $7.95 million in November 2024. It spent just two months on the market before closing at $7.25 million.
