Photos: Most expensive DC-area homes sold in August

WASHINGTON — A stately, all-brick home at 8301 River Road in Bethesda, Maryland, was the most expensive residential real estate sale in the D.C. region in August.

Listing service Bright MLS says the seven-bedroom, seven-bath, three-story home sold in just two weeks on the market for its full list price of $5.1 million.

The D.C. region’s 10 most expensive residential sales in August ranged from $2.9 million to $5.1 million. The District, which usually dominates the list of most expensive sales each month, accounted for just three of last month’s 10 most expensive sales.
