It has been four years since legendary concert promoter Jack Boyle decided to sell the 25,000-square-foot home he built in McLean and almost nine years since he first envisioned the mega-mansion on its five-acre site at 7724 Georgetown Pike. Now the house that Jack built has been sold for $7,850,000, thanks to Washington Fine Property’s realtors Victoria Kilcullen, William F. X. Moody, and Robert Hryniewicki, who were the listing agents, and Grace Albritton of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, who brought the buyer to the table. The property has nine bedrooms, 12 full baths and five half-baths, a sauna, an oval office, two fountains, and a six-car garage with two limousine bays.
Despite its luxurious accommodations, Boyle and his wife Janet never lived here, instead splitting their time between wintering in Florida and summering in Maine. In 2005 they listed the estate for million even as the market was heading for a downturn, but are said to have no regrets.
Boyle began his career in the 1960’s as a bartender at Georgetown’s Cellar Door Club. He then co-founded Cellar Door productions, which owned and operated such entertainment venues as the Nissan Pavilion in Prince William County. For much of the 1990’s, Boyle was the country’s highest-grossing concert promoter. In 1998, he sold Cellar Door to SFX Entertainment and became chairman of SFX’s music division. SFX was later sold to Clear Channel Communications.
