Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has quietly joined the ranks of tech billionaires establishing a presence in Washington, D.C., with the recent acquisition of a luxury estate in the prestigious Woodland Normanstone neighborhood near Massachusetts Avenue. The off-market real estate transaction—now revealed—ranks among the most expensive home sales in D.C. history.
The serene modern retreat sits on a prominent one-acre corner lot, surrounded by notable landmarks such as the Washington Cathedral, the Naval Observatory, and Embassy Row.
Designed by Robert Gurney Architect in partnership with McCullough Construction and Campion Hruby Landscape Architects, the 16,000-square-foot red-brick mansion features 5 bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms.

The home’s architecture blends timeless elegance with contemporary design, consisting of three gabled-roof volumes connected by glass-enclosed walkways. Traditional elements like pitched roofs and steel-framed windows are balanced with minimalist detailing for a refined, modern aesthetic.
Zuckerberg’s discreet purchase underscores a growing trend: the deepening connection between Silicon Valley’s elite and the corridors of power in Washington.
