The Washington, D.C., home owned by has sold for over its asking price in a multimillion-dollar deal.
The property was first listed on the market for $2.5 million in April, but its final deal saw the home purchased for $2.6 million.
When Jackson originally bought the home in 2013, she only paid just under $1.9 million, meaning she made more than $700,000 in the sale. The D.
C. property spans 6,129 square feet and has six bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms.
When the home initially hit the market, its listing said it had "all the bells and whistles, nothing missing!" While the house includes many amenities that make it a likely top seller, some of the interest in the home might also be related to the fact that Jackson was its owner, experts say. "There is no doubt this home was beautiful and very spacious, but we cannot ignore the fact that it was owned by a Justice," Kevin Thompson, a finance expert and the founder and CEO of 9i Capital Group, told The roomy home boasts a living room, den, library and deck with a built-in barbecue. The house was originally built in 2005 and is described as "Colonial" style with crown molding and a gas fireplace.
The home also features large windows, a sound system, hardwood floors, two Wolf ovens and a wine fridge. There's a master room as well as three bedrooms on the second floor. In the top floor, there is a loft bed and bath space.
The basement also includes a "fitness studio" and "crafts room" alongside a sixth bedroom. There's also a two-car garage. Thompson mentioned the premium selling price could cause discussion for the court in future.
"This is something that may need to be addressed in future meetings and potentially disallowed moving forward, although it would likely face constitutional challenges," Thompson said. "Should be able to use their celebrity to enhance their wealth? That is an argument that will need to be addressed, although we continually see it within politics." Alan Chang, a nationwide title and escrow expert, said Jackson's home selling for top price also reflects the region's He said the D.
C. area is still seeing stronger demand, with the average days of a home on market near 40. "Her home hits a sweet spot in entry level luxury homes where the median home price for a single-family home is hovering around $1.
2 million," Chang told . "The additional celebrity value adding to 4 percent over asking is not unreasonable either. That will help cover her closing expenses.
" Jackson joined the Supreme Court in 2022 and was appointed by President as the first Black woman on the court. She previously graduated from Harvard Law and was the U.S.
Circuit Court judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit.
