An incredibly modern mansion that was built on the site of the infamous “Mansion Murders” home has hit the market for $8.5 million—nine years after three of the original home’s residents and their housekeeper were killed in a brutal quadruple homicide.

The newly built, six-bedroom, 6.5-bathroom property is a far cry from the traditional brick mansion that once stood on the affluent Washington, D.C., street.

That property was torn down in 2017, two years after its owner, Savvas Savopoulos was tortured and murdered inside it, along with his wife, Amy, their 10-year-old son, Philip, and the family’s housekeeper, Veralicia “Vera” Figueroa.

Their killer then set fire to the home before fleeing, having taken $40,000 in ransom from his victims before killing them.

The bodies of the victims were discovered May 14, 2015, when firefighters were called to deal with the fire at the property.

WASHINGTON, DC - MAY 19: District of Columbia Metropolitan Police maintain a perimeter around the house on the 3200 block of Woodland Drive NW May 19, 2015 in Washington, DC. Firefighters discovered the bodies of Savvas Savopoulos, 46, his wife Amy, 47, their 10-year-old son Philip, and the housekeeper, Veralicia Figueroa, 57, last Thursday afternoon when they responded to a blaze at the house. Two Savopoulos daughters were away in boarding school at the time. Investigators have ruled the deaths homicides and say they could continue to collect evidence at the house for another week.

Daron Wint, then 37, was convicted of all four murders in 2018 and sentenced to four consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole.

Judge Juliet McKenna described his crimes as “heinous, atrocious and cruel,” adding that the shocking kidnap, torture, and murder of the Savapulous family and their housekeeper was “the most heinous crime anyone has ever committed” in D.C.

“Today’s sentence holds Darron Wint accountable for kidnapping, torturing and ultimately murdering four innocent people, including a 10-year-old child, in an unspeakable ordeal that extended over almost 24 hours,” U.S. Attorney Jessie K. Liu said in a statement at the time. “Our hearts go out to the Savopoulos and Figueroa families, and we hope that they can take some comfort in knowing that this dangerous man has been brought to justice.”

Savopoulos and his wife were survived by their daughters, Abigail and Katerina Savopoulos, who were not present in the home at the time of the murders.

Six months after the deaths of its former residents, the property was originally put on the market for $3.5 million, having had its address officially changed from 3201 Woodland Drive NW to 2802 32nd St. NW, a practice that is common in cases where a home being listed has been involved in a violent crime of this nature.

It was put on the market as is, with the listing details noting that the home was fire damaged.

Shortly after it was listed, the property was purchased for $3 million—and in 2017, the home’s new owners demolished it, announcing plans to build a new mansion on the lot.

Police vehicles are seen outside a fire-damaged home where four people were killed last week in Washington, DC, May 21, 2015. Police were on the hunt Thursday for a suspect in the murder of a wealthy Washington family, after he was reportedly identified using DNA collected from the crust of a pizza delivered to victims' home. Authorities have issued an arrest warrant for Daron Dylon Wint in connection with the four murders, one of the most notorious crimes in recent memory in the US capital city. The victims -- Savvas Savopoulos, president and CEO of American Iron Works, a building materials manufacturer in Maryland, his wife Amy, their 10-year-old son Philip and the family's housekeeper Veralicia Figueroa -- were found bound and bludgeoned May 14 after a fire gutted the millionaire's mansion in an exclusive section of Washington.

However, by January 2018, the land was back on the market, with a spokesperson for Washington Fine Properties telling the local NBC affiliate at the time that the new owners had changed their minds about wanting to construct a new home there.

The empty lost was listed for $4.5 million but later sold for $2.6 million.

The latest buyers have remained entirely anonymous, purchasing the property under an LLC that is named after the property’s original address, as originally reported by Axios.

However, they have been busy at work constructing a brand-new home on the site of the so-called “Mansion Murders,” a staggeringly modern property that boasts every amenity possible—including a heated, saltwater pool; gourmet kitchen; built-in wall speakers; and a full spa bathroom in the master suite.

“Designed by esteemed South Florida architect Jeffery Silberstein, this stunning contemporary residence, completed in 2024, is located on a lot exceeding a third of an acre. It features a saltwater pool and a large flat yard in the prestigious Massachusetts Avenue Heights neighborhood of Washington, D.C.” the listing states. “The main floor has two home offices, a guest suite, a pool lounge, and a heated and air-conditioned 2-car garage complete with a dog wash, owner mudroom, with 2nd laundry.”

The $8.5 million home is listed under a different address than those that have previously been used—2800 32nd NW St.—however, property records indicate that the address is in fact the same location as the site of the “Mansion Murders” house.
