First Lady’s Abode

24.03.23

This elegant estate has both a timeless federal-style facade and a special historical significance. Following the notorious death of her husband John, formerly the 35th president of the United States, Jackie Kennedy purchased the home in December 1963, a week after moving out of the White House. Here she sought refuge from the press and general public, although the house quickly became a sightseeing destination for curious observers. As a result of this unwanted attention, Jackie left the property in September 1964. The 13-bedroom estate bears the hallmarks of the Kennedys’ presidential class and style, and has been carefully renovated to preserve its original features while appealing to contemporary buyers.

The classic facade of this timeless estate introduces one of Georgetown’s most important estate residences. The focal point of this storied estate is a grand Federal style home built in the late 18th century which has been home to several prominent Americans including most notably First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy. The home has also served as the residence of Georgetown mayor Thomas Beall, Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, and former Miss America, Yolande Fox. As a result, the centrepiece of the estate at 3017 N Street, NW is recognized on the National Register of Historic Places. While retaining its historic elegance, the estate has been meticulously transformed to a modern showplace embracing the highest quality design, fixtures, and finishes. No detail was overlooked in the impressive renovation of this historic residence. Throughout, the rooms are elegantly proportioned. Notable features include a grand main reception hall, original fireplace surrounds, and elegant mouldings.

The spacious primary suite on the second-floor features parquet flooring, a private balcony overlooking the rear gardens, and a spa-quality bathroom. Four additional bedrooms all with ensuite bathrooms and the lofted observation deck encompass the third floor.

In 2017, this home was seamlessly connected with 3009 and 3003 N St NW, creating a truly unique estate spanning over 16,000 interior square feet, with 13 bedrooms, 13 full baths and 5 half baths.

3009 N St NW was built in 1950, as a modernist brick and concrete home, and features 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms and 3 half baths, as well as a grand Italianate entertaining room on the main floor. 3003 N St NW was built in 1880 and features 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths and 1 half bath. The home features oak herringbone flooring, gourmet kitchen, and elegant mouldings throughout. A garage and tunnel connect 3009 N Street with the lower level of 3017 N Street to create 3 car garage parking. All three homes have been meticulously reinvented with obsessive attention to detail and the finest materials, while still retaining their character-defining features and sense of place and history characteristic of Georgetown. The result of the timeless details and high-quality craftsmanship is a true masterpiece. Unparalleled in history, design, and execution, 3003-3017 N St NW is a home for the most discerning buyer and is undoubtably one of Georgetown’s most storied estates.
