The Washington, DC home of the late Senator Edward Kennedy and his wife, Victoria Reggie Kennedy, is on the market for $7,995,000 — this after being “quietly shopped around,” according to the Wall Street Journal.
Kennedy’s home is a stately, Federal-style home with large, white columns out front and borrows other influences from the White House such as its large portico, the semi-elliptical fan transom above the paneled door and the large suspended lantern as a welcome beacon.
Once you enter through the grand entryway, you will find a study, library, French doors leading to an outdoor terrace and elegant gardens, five fireplaces, and a family room. The dining room can accommodate an event for 50 people and it opens to an adjacent sunroom. One gets the feeling that one any minute, one of the Founding Fathers will walk through the door.
A fun item is a secret hideaway that is entered through the library, leading to the garage and indoor resistance pool. The Kennedys bought the home in 1998 for $2.78 million.
