At the top of both lists is the 36-room home at 624 Chain Bridge Road that was designed to be a tribute to Renaissance palaces in northern Spain. The home sold for $12 million, a little less than its original $15 million listing price.

The home sits on 3.22 acres, with almost 200 feet along the Potomac River. It also features his-and-her toilets in the master bath, a 15-seat home theater with stadium seating and a 161-inch screen, and a library that "feels much like a treehouse," according to its listing.

Placing eighth on the regional most-expensive list and No. 3 on the top Virginia properties is 576 Innsbruck Ave. in Great Falls. The 20,150-square-foot home sold for $7.4 million.
