Former First Lady Jacqueline (AKA Jackie) Kennedy’s previous home is officially going to auction later this month. It’s an opulent property that’s quite fitting for Jackie so it’s no surprise why she fell in love with the house.
Located in the upscale neighbourhood of Georgetown in Washington, DC, Jackie purchased the 18th-century residence after the tragic assassination of her husband, President John F. Kennedy. She lived there for only a year with her children as it became a public hotspot, especially from the paparazzi. Since her departure, the home has been tastefully renovated with the highest quality finishes while still retaining its original charm. The former Kennedy residence is now combined with two other homes, creating a massive 16,300-square-foot compound that boasts 13 bedrooms, 13 full baths and five half baths.

Modern Luxury Entryway
The gorgeous entryway boasts tons of natural light that bounces off the white walls adorned with beautiful crown moulding and panelling. There is oak flooring throughout and despite the home’s remodelling, the grand entryway is all original.
Elegant Formal Dining Room
The formal dining room has access to the gourmet kitchen on the side. There’s a gold chandelier and an incredible gold-leaf ceiling. The room also features a fireplace which we can only imagine sets a cozy vibe during family dinners.

Luxurious Primary Bedroom
The primary bedroom takes up the entire second floor of the main house. It has parquet flooring throughout which is part of its historic charm. The ensuite bathroom features a spa-like bath with upscale finishes and a private balcony overlooking the gardens.
The Opulent Reception Room
One of the additional homes on the property features this Italianate entertaining room with a breathtaking grand ceiling. According to the listing, the additional homes are connected through passageways and the underground parking lot.
Grand Backyard
Outside, the backyard is large enough for entertaining in the spring, summer and fall months. The stone patio is perfect for BBQs, brunches or relaxing with a coffee in hand.
Jackie’s former estate hit the market last year for $26.5 million before dropping to its current price of $19.5 million. On October 24th, the unique property will enter a no-reserve auction which means it will sell to the highest bidder regardless of price. Would you bid on this remarkable historic home?
