Pictures of the couple are sprinkled throughout the listing, including shots on the patio that compare how it looked in JFK’s day and now.
The sale appears to be a quick deal: The deadline to make an offer on the Federal-style townhouse is tomorrow. Below is the Redfin description:
In December of 1953 John F. Kennedy and Jackie Bouvier Kennedy signed their first lease as a newly married couple here, at 3321 Dent Place NW. JFK, still a junior senator at the time, and Jackie enjoyed hosting formal dinner parties and relaxing in the backyard garden – documented in the photo-illustrated chronicle Camelot at Dawn. The four level property has been with the same family since it was built in 1942. This classic Georgetown home retains numerous period details including wide-board Canadian oak floors, a wood burning fireplace, expansive dining room with real oak molding and sun-filled living room with a wall of windows overlooking the garden. Outside, the English garden style backyard, complete with profusions of purple bearded iris and white peonies, leads down an all-brick walkway to a fully-detached garage. 3321 Dent Place NW is located in Georgetown’s West Village, just a short walk from Volta Park, Wisconsin Avenue, M Street, and countless shopping and dining venues. Offers, if any, due Tuesday, 4/4, at 2:00 p.m.
- Here’s an only-in-Washington event. Starting in April, and continuing through the summer, the notable Congressional Cemetery is hosting a “Cemetery Speaker Series.” The idea is simple and ingenious. “Instead of reading about history in a book or looking at artifacts in a museum, the Cemetery Speaker Series allows visitors to experience history in the form of a walking tour through the graves, and lives, of the people interred here,” the cemetery office said. Another goal is to raise money for upkeep.
- Now that her book about Jan. 6 Capitol riot protesters, Due Process Denied: The Detained, The Families, The Fallout, has been published, author Cynthia Hughes is on the road pitching it. Hughes said she wrote it to tell the story of nonviolent protesters who’ve been caught up in the FBI dragnet and dubbed criminals. “The book is targeted at those that think the people who went to the Capitol that day committed all sorts of violence. There are some people who did and had bad intentions. There’s no question about it,” she said. But, she added, “the majority of the people that are caught up in this, just slightly over 1000 people at this point, the majority did not commit any violence, and there are people that are being accused of violence, that did not commit any act of violence at all.”
- The White House Historical Association has teamed up again with 8-year-old Rocco Smirne for a children’s book. Their latest is titled Rocco at the White House Easter Egg Roll! and follows Rocco Travels with the Presidents.
- We’re just two months away from commencement season, and some colleges and universities are already announcing their speakers. At Patrick Henry College, the Virginia higher-ed home for home-schooled students and a regular supplier of interns and young workers in the Bush and Trump administrations, former Housing Secretary Dr. Ben Carson will speak May 6.
