A historic Washington, DC mansion that sits just behind the official residence of the US vice president has landed on the market for $10.75 million — offering its next owner a rare chance to live practically next door to the nation’s second in charge.
The sprawling property on Massachusetts Avenue backs directly onto Observatory Circle, home to the vice president’s residence on the grounds of the US Naval Observatory, according to. The Queen Anne–style house there has served as the official home for vice presidents since the late 1970s and is currently occupied by Vice President JD Vance and his growing family. The newly listed estate, meanwhile, dates to 1925 and was designed in a Spanish Mission style by architect Albert S.J. Atkinson, who is also known for creating the historic Chapman Stables — an early 20th-century garage that has since been transformed into condominiums.The roughly 12,200-square-foot Spanish Mission-style home on Massachusetts Avenue backs onto Observatory Circle, where the vice president’s official residence sits.Ex-Starbucks CEO snaps up $44M Florida penthouse — as he becomes latest to flee Seattle's 'millionaires' tax'Over the decades, the residence has been home to several notable Washington figures, including brewer and philanthropist Christian Heurich and Marshall M. Parks, widely known as the father of pediatric ophthalmology. Today the home spans roughly 12,200 square feet following an extensive overhaul by its current owner, Tom DePasquale, chairman of Cerium Pharmaceuticals. Property records show DePasquale bought the house in 2016 for $3.5 million and later undertook a major renovation and expansion with architects at BarnesVanze. “We purchased the historic Heurich-Parks house, which needed to be completely reimagined,” DePasquale told Mansion Global in a statement. “Location, lot size and parking were all coveted attributes. Our primary goal was to transform this property into a home.”Built in 1925 and designed by architect Albert S.J.

Inside, the space blends contemporary elements with traditional finishes, including white walls paired with dark wood accents, herringbone floors and a wood-paneled living room. At the heart of the dwelling is a large open kitchen outfitted with two islands — a feature that underscores the property’s shift toward modern entertaining and everyday living. The residence includes seven bedrooms, nine full bathrooms and two half-baths. A primary suite on the main level features a spa-style bathroom and two walk-in closets.Amenities extend across several levels. The lower floor includes a recreation room, a gym, wine storage, a secure safe room and a bathroom equipped with a sauna. The home also features an elevator and an indoor swimming pool enclosed by sliding glass walls that can be opened to the outdoors. The property sits on about 0.39 acres — unusually generous land for the area — and includes landscaped grounds and a detached two-car garage topped with a guest studio. “The almost one-half acre estate is located just north of Embassy Row and features one of the largest parcels in all of Observatory Circle,” co-listing representative Robert Hryniewicki, of HRLS Partners at TTR Sotheby’s International Realty, said.Hegseth vows US will 'go as far as we need' to topple Iranian regime as conflict escalates — including possible 'boots on ground'Ex-Starbucks CEO snaps up $44M Florida penthouse -- as he becomes latest to flee Seattle's 'millionaires' tax' Kacey Musgraves finally reveals what led to Miranda Lambert feud: ‘Wouldn’t consider each other friends’ People railing at Timothée Chalamet over his correct opera and ballet remarks are more attention starved than he isThe roughly 12,200-square-foot Spanish Mission-style home on Massachusetts Avenue backs onto Observatory Circle, where the vice president's official residence sits.Built in 1925 and designed by architect Albert S.J.
