Following the tragic assassination of President Kennedy, Jacqueline Kennedy purchased an 18th-century residence in Georgetown, known as the “Baker House,” to be her personal home.

She would move again a year later as the home attracted too much attention from the public and especially the paparazzi. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Federal-style mansion was also the residence of Georgetown Mayor Thomas Beall, Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, and former Miss America Yolande Fox. Now combined with two other homes to create a massive 16,300-square-foot mansion, the property hit the market last year for $26,500,000, but is currently priced at $19,500,000, according to TopTenRealEstateDeals.com.

It is going to a no-reserve auction on October 24th.

The opulent compound includes 13 bedrooms, 13 full baths, and 5 half baths across the three homes. The former Kennedy home has been meticulously maintained, with original fireplaces, impressive grand entry hall, and wood-paneled library.

Renovations have created a showplace home with the highest-quality design, fixtures, and finishes. An elegant dining room with gold-leaf ceiling, a gym, an executive office, and a spacious-modern kitchen are just a few of the home’s amenities.
