Marbury House in Washington, DC, is a historic gem linking two pivotal eras in American history. Built in 1811 for William Marbury, known for establishing judicial review, it later became home to John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy from 1957 until their move to the White House. Jackie described the five-bedroom federal-style house, now on the market for $7.5 million, as “the perfect place,” and redecorated it extensively, blending elegance with historical charm.

The three-story house retains its federal-style architecture, with red brick, sash windows, green shutters, and tall ceilings on all floors. Current owner Cameron Knight, who bought it in 2004, has made minor updates while preserving its character. The garden has been slightly altered for privacy and durability but retains its historical layout.
The home reflects a rich history, hosting political gatherings and marking key moments like the birth of John F. Kennedy Jr. Knight reflects on his 21 years there as a small chapter in the home’s storied legacy.
The property is exclusively listed with TTR Sotheby’s International Realty.
