The Kennedy family home, before the White House listed for $7.5 million
The Georgetown townhouse once owned by Jackie and John F. Kennedy before he became president is now on the market for $7.5 million.
Known as the Marbury House, the historic property is being listed by Sotheby’s International Realty. Built in 1811, the 5,200-square-foot home features five bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, high ceilings, a parlor, dining room with garden access, a library, a walk-up attic, a one-car garage, and two additional parking slabs—offering a rare combination of space and historic charm in D.C.
Located at 3307 N Street NW, the property was originally commissioned by William Marbury, the financier behind the landmark Supreme Court case Marbury v. Madison. The Kennedys moved in during 1957, living there for four years before relocating to the White House with their children, Caroline and John Jr., in January 1961. They sold the home later that year.
The current $7.5 million asking price places it well above the typical D.C. market, with annual taxes around $32,500. A 20% down payment on a 30-year mortgage at a 6.352% interest rate would result in monthly payments exceeding $37,000.
The property has seen a significant increase in value since its last sale in 2004, when current owners Vincent Griski and Cameron Knight purchased it for $3.35 million.
