Site of infamous 'Mansion Murders' transformed into a staggering $8.5 million home

An incredible modern mansion built on the site of the infamous ‘Mansion Murders’ house has hit the market for $8.5 million – nine years after three of the home’s original residents and their housekeeper were killed in a brutal quadruple shooting murder.

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

That building was demolished in 2017, two years after the owner, Savvas Savopoulos was tortured and murdered inside, together with his wife, Amytheir 10-year-old son, Philipand the family housekeeper, Veralicia “Vera” Figueroa.

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

The victims’ bodies were discovered on May 14, 2015, when firefighters were called to extinguish the fire in the building.

In May 2015, businessman Savvas Savopoulos was tortured and murdered in his DC home along with his wife Amy and their 10-year-old son Philip. Savvas and his wife are survived by their two daughters, Abigail and Katerina.

Daron WintThe then 37-year-old was convicted of all four murders in 2018 and sentenced to four consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole.

Right Julia McKenna described his crimes as “heinous, heinous and brutal,” adding that the shocking kidnapping, 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 responsible for kidnapping, torturing and ultimately murdering four innocent people, including a 10-year-old child, in an unspeakable ordeal that spanned nearly 24 hours,” the U.S. attorney said. Jessie K. Liu said in a statement at the time. “Our hearts go out to the Savopoulos and Figueroa families, and we hope they can take some comfort in knowing this dangerous man has been brought to justice.”

Six months after the deaths of its former residents, the property was originally put on the market for $3.5 million, after the address was officially changed from 3201 Woodland Drive NW to 2802 32nd St. NW, a practice common in cases where a house on the list has been involved in such a violent crime.

It was marketed as is, with the listing details stating that the house had been damaged by fire.

Shortly after it was listed, the property was purchased for $3 million – and in 2017 the new owners demolished the house and announced plans to build a new mansion on the plot.
