PHOTOS: Dan Snyder’s Potomac palace is now $14 million more affordable

As excited as some Washington Commanders fans were about former owner Dan Snyder’s sale of the team last month, nobody seems quite as interested in taking real estate off his hands.

Snyder put his 30,000-square-foot Potomac, Maryland, mansion up for sale in February, asking a cool $49 million for the property. But this week, the price dropped $14 million.

Now, the five-bedroom estate and its 15.2 acres of land can be yours — for just under $35 million.

This is not the first time Snyder has tried to shake this residence.

He also asked $49 million for it in 2018, but that didn’t seem to work out. Since then, he’s purchased another riverfront mansion — this one for $48 million, located near George Washington’s Mount Vernon in Virginia and a downsize for Snyder with 16,000 square feet of space.

Snyder reportedly bought the Potomac mansion for a little over $8.6 million in 2000, from the estate of Jordan’s King Hussein and Queen Noor.
