It's a nearly century-old assemblage of multiple buildings encompassing 10 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms across a 3/4-acre swatch of land that boasts rolling gardens of vibrant greenery.
Mysteriously purchased back in October by the Cherry Revocable Trust, the former museum buyer's true identity wasn't known until recently, The Postreported.
The home will reportedly be the largest in D.C., which would make Bezos -- who has a net worth of some $69.9 billion -- the owner of both the largest individual home and the most widely read outlet in the nation's capital. He bought The Postin 2013 for $250 million.

Built by textile collector George Hewitt Myers, the property features a Georgian-style mansion designed by architect John Russell Pope, the same man who designed the Jefferson Memorial.
The garden takes on a classical look, complete with brick arcades and wisteria-covered pergolas. The property's other structure was designed by Waddy Wood, the architect who led design of the historic Woodrow Wilson House in D.C.
