An amazing eight-bedroom mansion has been listed in
Built in 1941, it has been put on the market for $5.995 million, Dailymail reports.
The Post says it was originally owned by Charles Doolittle Walcott , who held a dinner for Vice President, Thomas Marshall, and his wife.
The second owner was the undersecretary of commerce from 1940-1945, Wayne Chatfield-Taylor, who bought the house in 1932 and lived there until 1954.
Ambassador George W Renchard Jr and his wife, Stellita Stapleton Renchard, were the third owners, before the mansion was home to Irish Ambassador, William Fay.
The mansion has also seen the likes of Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, the king and queen of Afghanistan, the president of Bolivia and the prime minister of Ireland.
In all those years, the property remained unchanged until 2006, when the current owners expanded the living space to nearly 12,000 square feet, added elegant and whimsical faux paintings on walls and turned the entrance to the kitchen into a Chinese moon gate.
Other features include an attached garage with a private entrance, additional off street parking, a guest house, an elevator with access to all four levels, a pool, and a rooftop terrace.
This terrace offers three-hundred and sixty degree views of Washington.
