JFK’s former Washington home sells for $4.2 million
Kennedy and his sister rented the home while he served in Congress
A home in Washington's historic Georgetown neighborhood where John F. Kennedy lived before his time as president just sold for $4.2 million.
The 35th president lived in the home in 1949 and ’50 during his time in Congress. His sister, Eunice Kennedy, also lived on the property.
The 4,659-square-foot Federal-style home was built in about 1800, according to the former listing. It includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms and two half-baths.

But the home has also been renovated with modern finishes added to the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features high-end appliances and a large island with seating and storage.
