For $4.25 million you can live in a piece of history. While it may not tout the opulence and grandeur of the White House, John F. Kennedy’s former Federal style home in Georgetown, Washington D.C., is the ideal abode for a prestigious dignitary. Built in the 19th century, the rustic red brick façade, spiraling staircase, built-in bookshelves and dark wood floors give this home a sense of antiquity. If you’re looking for a sleek modern look, step into the kitchen, which boasts state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances and black granite counter tops.

The four-story home includes three bedrooms, and two full-size and three half bathrooms. The skylit master bedroom suite on the top floor has a wet bar, access to the rooftop deck and an exquisite marble bath overlooking the tree lined street. Kennedy lived in the home from 1949 to 1951 with his younger sister Eunice, who’s the founder of the Special Olympics. Who would of known at the time that the young, ambitious Kennedy would eventually upgrade his digs to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW.
