RemoveSnyder Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 https://www.wsj.com/articles/washington-redskins-owner-asks-49-million-for-maryland-mansion-1538666377 By Katherine Clarke Oct. 4, 2018 11:19 a.m. ET  Washington owner Dan Snyder is listing his Potomac, Md., mansion, inspired by an 18th Century French château, for $49 million. Mr. Snyder is the founder of Snyder Communications, a marketing company that sold for $2.5 billion in 2000.  Around the same time, he bought the riverfront property from the estate of Jordan’s King Hussein and Queen Noor, according to TTR Sotheby’s International Realty, the company listing the property. He paid about $8.64 million for the main parcel, but then expanded the property by later acquiring adjacent parcels, bringing the total footprint to about 15.2 acres, according to Sotheby’s.   "The approximately 30,000-square-foot main house, completed in 2004, has zinc gutters and a slate roof. It has two solariums—one serves as a breakfast room, the other is used as a gym. It also has a large double-height drawing room, a formal dining room, a wine cellar, a library, and a restaurant-grade kitchen for entertaining. A winding staircase leads to a master suite which has its own sitting room and his-and-hers bathrooms. There are five bedrooms in total." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 So why is he selling? I have not heard about a divorce. Maybe the lag in ticket sales and all of his other failed business ventures are taking a toll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RemoveSnyder Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 I'm a little disappointed with just 5 bedrooms. Need 10, minimum.   Oh, and: - outdoor shower - olde style barn - olympic size pool - wet bar island inside said pool  ... a few more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RemoveSnyder Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 Here's the rest of the WSJ story for those hitting a sign-up wall: "He built the house from scratch, shipping in limestone from France for its facade, according to listing agent Michael Rankin. The approximately 30,000-square-foot main house, completed in 2004, has zinc gutters and a slate roof. It has two solariums—one serves as a breakfast room, the other is used as a gym.  It also has a large double-height drawing room, a formal dining room, a wine cellar, a library and a restaurant grade kitchen for entertaining. A winding staircase leads to a master suite which has its own sitting room and his-and-hers bathrooms. There are five bedrooms in total.  There is also a two-bedroom guesthouse as well as several loggias, a 12-car garage, a house manager’s residence and a vanishing edge waterfront swimming pool.  A satellite image on Google Maps shows a team-themed basketball court in the team’s red and gold colors. Mr. Snyder bought the team in 1999.  Mr. Rankin said Mr. Snyder, 53, was selling because he and his wife are building another home in the area." The approximately 30,000-square-foot main house has two solariums—one serves as a breakfast room, the other is used as a gym—a wine cellar, a library and a full restaurant grade kitchen for entertaining.

Mr. Sinister Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Patiently waiting to hear where his fan gulags are, where he keeps disloyal season season ticket holders, force feeding them rocky road ice cream... a symbolic representation of their now tense relationship.
