Harriette Walters' D.C. Home is For Sale


View Larger Map

It might not look like much, but this house, located at 6880 Oregon Ave NW, once contained mink coats, designer purses and shoes, a Faberge egg, plus "a pair of silver-plated iguana figurines, a silverware set, a Rolex watch and a silver bar cart." That's right, this house used to belong to convicted Office of Tax and Revenue embezzler Harriette Walters. And now it can be yours!

Via Reliable Source, the house has been put up for sale, with an asking price of $715,000, after having been seized by federal authorities as part of the big, big OTR investigation. Considering Walters' reputed largesse, the three-bedroom home really does seem rather modest. Is it possible she thought that maintaining this regular old house would assist in her cover story, even while she toted Louis Vuitton bags to the office?

gah, it's all the way up in hawthorne. that's c.h.u.d. territory.

Don't check the dry well in the basement.

Who the F would ever want to live all the way up there, anyway? Why wouldn't you just move a few blocks to the northwest into Maryland? That part of D.C. is the suburbs without any of the few good things about living in the suburbs.

What a nice little love nest that would make. My wife yould never suspect.
