eBay Co-Founder Jeffrey Skoll's $10.5M Virginia Home Features Japandi Minimalism

Jeffrey Skoll, eBay co-founder and film producer, purchased a contemporary home in McLean, Virginia for $10.5 million in 2024. Designed by Georgia & Hunt Design House, the five-bedroom residence features charred shou sugi ban siding and stone accents. Interiors embrace earthy tones of camel, clay, warm brown, and tobacco with Japandi touches. A double-sided masonry fireplace anchors the entryway, separating it from a sitting area and open dining space. Sliding glass doors in the living room open to a patio lounge. The kitchen has white and warm-wood cabinetry with a central island featuring an oversized sink and two faucets. A floating staircase connects all three levels. The primary suite upstairs combines a wood-clad bedroom with a cream-toned bath and a picture window behind the soaking tub. Other spaces include a home office, a speakeasy-inspired blue bar, and a mudroom with custom coat hooks that retract into millwork. Skoll also owns a neighboring eight-acre Civil War-era estate called Elmwood, formerly owned by broadcaster Roger Mudd's family.
