Former National Max Scherzer's Home Sold In McLean

MCLEAN, VA — Former Washington Nationals star Max Scherzer has been gone from the DC area since being traded earlier this year, and now his McLean home has been sold.

Real estate records show the home at 1139 Crest Lane sold in late November. Scherzer and his wife originally put the house on the market in October 2020. The home didn't end up selling.

It was put back on the market in the fall and was quickly under contract, according to Urban Turf. Scherzer was traded by the Nationals to the Los Angeles Dodgers in July.

The three-time Cy Young award winner purchased the house for $5.2 million in 2015 after signing a contract with the Nationals. Originally, the home had four bedrooms and 7,160 but has undergone a makeover since 2015. When the home was sold, it had five bedrooms and 8,264 square feet.

The home was sold by TTR Sotheby's International Realty's Wetherly Barker Hemeon and Karen Barker for the asking price of $15 million. According to the listing, the home is situated above the Potomac River, offering 180-degree river views, an infinity pool, multi-tiered decks and a rooftop terrace.

Following the sale of Scherzer's home, another former DC sports star's McLean home has found a new owner. Alex Smith, the former Washington Football Team quarterback and NFL Comeback Player of the Year, recently sold his McLean home, also located on Crest Lane.
