Jackie Kennedy Onassis' Washington D.C. Home Following JFK Assassination On Sale For $10 Million — Tour The Historic Residence
The home where Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and her children lived in following the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy is now on the market for $10 million.
The former First Lady lived in the historic Washington, D.C., residence, known as the Riggs-Riley House, with young children Caroline and John Jr., for a year after leaving the White House.
The anything-but-ordinary estate offers an array of unique features that would satisfy any discerning buyer looking for a luxurious property in the Georgetown area.
"Rarely does such a splendid piece of architecture become available in Georgetown," TTR Sotheby's International Realty's Michael Rankin told Southern Living. "These are legacy homes, and the prominence of this offering adds to its desirability for buyers, especially those looking to own a piece of history."
The single-family home, built in 1805, was last sold in 1997 for $1.7 million, and was previously owned by former New York governor W. Averell Harriman and his wife Pamela Churchill Harriman when Onassis resided there with her children.
