The storied mansion where former first lady Jacqueline Kennedy stayed following the assassination in 1963 of her husband, President John F. Kennedy, is listed for $26.5 million.

Her style evolved with her, as her marriage in 1968 to Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis brought about a new look: menswear-inspired suits, billowy dresses and oversized sunglasses. A style icon for generations, she also worked as a book editor and continued her efforts to preserve and restore numerous historic sites and culturally important homes and buildings until her death in 1994.

Following the assassination of her husband, Jackie Kennedy bought 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 the former Miss America Yolande Fox.

Situated on the banks of the Potomac River, Georgetown is one of the most affluent neighborhoods in Washington and home to many of the city’s politicians and lobbyists. Nearby options for entertainment include the Georgetown Waterfront Park, the high-end shops on M Street, and numerous art galleries. The White House, the Capitol Building and other famous DC landmarks are only a few miles away.
