Overview
- The Georgetown townhouse sold for about $6.12 million after an October 2025 listing at $7.5 million.
- Built in 1811 for financier William Marbury, the house takes its name from Marbury v. Madison, the landmark Supreme Court case.
- John and Jacqueline Kennedy bought the home in 1957 as their first D.C. residence, used it as an informal 1960 campaign hub, and departed for the White House on Inauguration Day 1961.
- The three-story residence spans roughly 5,200 square feet with five bedrooms, six fireplaces, a double parlor, a library, and a garden, and listing materials note Jackie’s redesigns and her political teas.
- The sellers, Vincent Griski and Cameron Knight, bought the property in 2004 for $3.35 million and later declined a reported offer from the JFK Library to accept it as a donation, keeping the house in private hands.
