The late Esther Coopersmith’s Kalorama mansion was sold for $9.4 million, among a string of end-of-the-year multi-million-dollar home sales in the District, but a significant discount from the 12,000-square-foot home’s original asking price.

The buyer was not disclosed. The seller was Coopersmith’s estate, which was represented by TTR Sotheby’s International.

The home, at 2230 S Street in Northwest D.C., was originally listed for $18.5 million in June 2024 and reduced in September to $14.5 million. It went under contract in November, and the sale closed on Dec. 20.

Coopersmith, a longtime lobbyist who died last March at 94 years old, famously hosted diplomats, presidents, politicians and other movers and shakers at the six-bedroom home, which reportedly had a dining room that could seat up to 75 guests.

Coopersmith purchased the home in 1995, four years after her real estate developer-husband Jack Coopersmith died.

The colonial revival home was built in 1925. The listing described it as the crown jewel of Kalorama. It sits on two lots and is a neighbor to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ Kalorama home, the former Textile Museum mansion on S Street.

Counting the Coopersmith sale, there were nine property sales in Kalorama priced at $4 million or more in 2024, four of which were contracted since the election, according to Washington Fine Properties.
