A house across from the Russian Embassy in Washington, D.C., has been put up for sale for $3.85 million, according to The Washington Post (WP), which calls it a “spy house.”
The building, located at 2619 Wisconsin Avenue, was built in 1935 and was home to a family of Italian immigrants and their descendants for five decades. In the late 1980s, the house was rented out, and the new tenants “coincidentally” worked eight-hour shifts a day, the newspaper reported.
In 2023, the Washingtonian reported that neighbors said the FBI had used the house for decades to monitor the Russian Embassy and possibly intercept its signals, starting around 1990. Residents had spotted cameras through tinted windows that were aimed at the diplomatic mission.
