Former U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson Lists His DC Townhome for $6.5M

Former U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has decided to part ways with his townhouse in Washington, DC.

Tillerson purchased the brick townhome from former AOL executive Richard Hanlon and his wife, Pam, for $5.5 million back in 2017. He is looking to rake in a $1 million profit, if he gets anywhere near his $1,139-per-square-foot asking price.

After his brief tenure in the job—from which he was ultimately fired by President Donald Trump in 2018—Tillerson claimed the capital city can be a “very mean-spirited town” in his farewell speech to State Department staff.

While it is unclear if he will maintain a presence in DC, the 71-year-old Texas native and former ExxonMobil exec has already planted his roots back in his home state. In 2019, he purchased a Westlake mansion from All-Star Vernon Wells.

Recently listed for $6.5 million, the four-bedroom luxury living space boasts a modernized 5,709 square feet.

The elegant antique in the tony Kalorama neighborhood was built in 1927 but still features many period details.

Highlights include custom millwork, many built-ins, and three fireplaces. Among the modern updates are a chef’s kitchen with high-end appliances, a primary suite with a marble bathroom, and an elevator for easy access to each level.

The cozy office is lined with custom cabinets and a built-in desk. Several spacious rooms provide the perfect spot to entertain or relax. A bright sunroom surrounded by windows overlooks the private backyard.

Meanwhile, a brick-walled patio offers extra privacy, while a “soothing water fountain” and grilling area are ready for parties and gatherings.

The professionally landscaped property also includes a two-car, detached garage.
