Purchased for $28 million in an off-market deal earlier this week, the transaction sets a new record for priciest home sale in the District. Mark and Hunter McFadden of Compass represented the seller, while Harris was represented by Daniel Heider of TTR Sotheby\u2019s International Realty.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Built in in the late 1700s by Benjamin Stoddert, Halcyon House features gardens that were designed by Pierre L\u2019Enfant; at one point, the sprawling home was owned by the nephew of Mark Twain.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, Halcyon House has served as the headquarters for Halcyon, a nonprofit accelerator founded by Dr. Sachiko Kuno. According to the Wall Street Journal, Harris plans to restore the Federal-era home along Prospect Street NW to its original use as a single-family residence.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The $28 million sale sets a new residential sales record for DC.
