"This opportunity is generational and must be experienced to be appreciated," he added.
The property has been recognized on the National Register of Historic Places. Despite its classic charm, it has been renovated over the years to highlight a more modern touch since Kennedy lived in it. The home, combined with two other mansions, now boasts 13 bedrooms, 13 bathrooms and five half-baths, all spanning more than 16,000 square feet.

"All three homes have been meticulously reinvented with obsessive attention to detail and the finest materials, while still retaining their character-defining features and sense of place and history characteristic of Georgetown," the listing reads. "The result of the timeless details and high-quality craftsmanship is a true masterpiece. Unparalleled in history, design and execution, 3003-3017 N St NW is a home for the most discerning buyer and is undoubtedly one of Georgetown’s most storied estates."
The brick and concrete mansion, built in 1794, highlights a reception hall that leads up to a second floor with a primary suite, along with a spa bathroom. The room also includes a private balcony with a view of the lush back gardens.

The modern renovation aims to "embrace" the highest quality design, fixtures and finishes, all while "retaining its historic elegance."
