Jackie Kennedy’s Former Home in Washington, DC

This property is on the market for $26,500,000, listed with TTR Sotheby’s International Realty.

In 1963, First Lady Jackie Kennedy Onassis and her children moved out of the White House and into this elegant Georgetown estate in the months after John F. Kennedy’s assassination.

The Federal style residence was built in the late 18th century and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Famous residents include Georgetown mayor Thomas Beall, former Miss America Yolande Fox and Secretary of War Newton D. Baker.

The move would be short-lived as the residence began to attract the attention of the American public and media and she would leave the property in 1964.

The timeless Washington mansion for sale has been updated over the years and features modern additions, like a colossal master suite with a private balcony and marble-clad ensuite, and a bright kitchen.

Much of the home has retained its original elegance, with classic detailing seen in the panelled library, intricate mouldings, and original fireplaces.

The 13 bedroom property comprises 3 separate buildings on the estate, which were connected in 2022 and offer a total of 16,000 sq ft of living space.

This trophy home in Washington is one of Georgetown’s most storied estates.
