Surreal Estate

Don Geronimo (Michael Temchine for The Washington Post)

Owner: Don Geronimo
No-longer-asking price: $1.6 million
Details: The long-reigning local radio superstar left his WJFK gig for the "beach bum" life in Ocean City earlier this year. Two weeks ago, he put his Great Falls home on the market -- but abruptly took it off just seven days later. Bad time to sell a mansion? Or just a hard place to leave? We couldn't reach him, and his listing agent did not return several calls. The DJ (real name: Michael Sorce) and his late wife, Freda, bought the five-bedroom, 5,500-square-foot modern home in 1991 for $645K. Heated swimming pool, outdoor kitchen, security fence, screening room, exercise room and nearly three acres.
