What JFK And Jackie Kennedy's First Home Was Really Like

In addition to the spacious living areas, the famous wall of windows, the multiple double bedrooms, and the large, flower-filled garden, 3321 Dent Place NW also has a few subtler features to its name. "There are countless period details remaining here in the house," said realtor Michael Brennan Jr in a video tour. "The original hardwood floors, the crown moldings, you've got this wood-burning fireplace, original wall sconces right here, and even some original paint," he said, revealing a hidden cabinet that still retained faded green paint.

These are some of the small features that JFK and Jackie Kennedy might have admired when they first chose this house back in 1953. It's wonderful to see that despite decades passing since the would-be president and first lady's residency there, the new homeowners chose to keep the property's period charm intact and visible while still modernizing other aspects of the home.
