Jackie and John F. Kennedy's Former Georgetown Home Hits the Market for $7.5 Million

"The red brick Federal-style dwelling at 3307 N Street in Georgetown has even deeper historic ties: It was built in 1812 for William Marbury, a financier and associate of John Adams. Marbury was the plaintiff in the landmark 1803 Supreme Court case Marbury v. Madison, establishing the legal power of judicial review. The Kennedys paid $82,000 for the three-story row house, moving in with their baby daughter, Caroline, in 1958 and staying there until JFK's January 1961 presidential inauguration."

"Across 5,215 square feet of interior living space, the house offers five bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths. Beyond its forest-green front door lies a pair of formal parlors where Jackie hosted "political teas," according to the listing. Wood-burning fireplaces with period-appropriate mantels warm many of the rooms, while French doors along the entertainment spaces on the main level spill out onto a well-landscaped back patio with room for a dozen to dine outdoors."

3307 N Street in Georgetown, the red brick Federal-style home where Jackie and John F. Kennedy lived before moving into the White House, is listed for $7.5 million. Built in 1812 for William Marbury, the house links to the landmark Marbury v. Madison decision that established judicial review. The Kennedys bought the three-story row house for $82,000, moved in with daughter Caroline in 1958, and lived there through JFK's January 1961 inauguration. The 5,215-square-foot residence has five bedrooms, five-and-a-half baths, formal parlors, wood-burning fireplaces, French doors to a landscaped patio, an elaborately carved staircase, a study with built-in bookshelves, and a lower-level staff suite with private entrance.
