JFK's Georgetown Townhouse Sells for $6.12 Million
The former Georgetown home of John F. and Jacqueline Kennedy, where JFK Jr. was born and the 1960 presidential campaign was run, has sold for $6.12 million—$1.4 million below its October 2025 asking price of $7.5 million. The Federal-style townhouse at 3307 N Street NW was purchased by the Kennedys in 1957 for $82,000. Jackie spent $18,000 on renovations including Louis XV-era armchairs and antique dining chairs. Built in 1811 for William Marbury of Marbury v. Madison fame, the 6,000-square-foot residence features five bedrooms, six fireplaces, a library, and original wood floors. The sellers, Vincent Griski and Cameron Knight, bought it in 2004 for $3.35 million. Knight, whose grandfather was a diplomat under Kennedy, made subtle updates like opening a fireplace and installing period mantles. The JFK Library expressed interest in acquiring the property as a donation, but Knight declined. The buyer was represented by Kelly Garret of TTR Sotheby's International Realty.
