If you ever find yourself in need of a cup of sugar, this historic home in the U.S. capital puts the official residence of the vice president within easy reach for a neighborly favor.

Known as the Heurich-Parks House, the property was built in 1925 for the family of Christian Heurich Jr., son of a prominent German American businessman who operated a brewery in the district from 1872 to 1956. Designed in the Spanish Mission style by architect Albert S.J. Atkinson, the residence sits on nearly half an acre just north of the prestigious Embassy Row neighborhood and directly behind the Naval Observatory, Vice President J.D. Vance’s current lodgings.

Frequently cited as the “Father of Pediatric Ophthalmology,” Marshall Parks was another of the home’s esteemed residents. The property was acquired for $3.5 million in 2016 by its current owner, Cerium Pharmaceuticals chairman Tom DePasquale, who enlisted BarnesVanze Architects to oversee a meticulous renovation and expansion. Today, the house spans roughly 12,000 square feet of light-filled interiors and is complemented by a detached two-car garage topped by a studio.

Location, lot size, and parking were among the appealing elements of the property, and the owner tells Mansion Global their intent was to transform the grand house into a comfortable home. The result is an inviting seven-bedroom, 11-bathroom retreat that pairs vintage elements with modern luxuries for effortless relaxation—from a sauna to an indoor swimming pool.

More specifically, the redesign preserved the exterior architecture while reworking the interiors to reflect a contemporary lifestyle. Herringbone floors, arched entryways, and cast-iron details stand out within the three-story structure, alongside a spacious wood-paneled living room and an open kitchen with dual islands. Just steps away, a breakfast area set beneath a skylight brings in abundant natural light and adds an airy sense of openness.

A wood-finished staircase and an elevator ascend to the upper level, where the spacious owner’s suite comprises a private sitting space, two walk-in closets, and a bathroom with veined stone flooring. Other highlights include a pool bath, a bar, and, on the lower level, a recreation room, an exercise room, wine storage, laundry facilities, and a full bath with a sauna.

Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open the indoor pool to a slender deck with sun loungers. Beyond is a plush lawn. Robert Hryniewicki, Adam Rackliffe, Christopher Leary, and Micah Smith of HRLS Partners at TTR Sotheby’s International Realty are representing the $10.75 million listing.
