Kennedy Home Gets A Big Price Cut

I would have guessed that the Washington D.C. home belonging to the late Senator Ted Kennedy and his wife Victoria would have sold quickly but it has been on the market since last January with no sale in sight. Now the home's price has been reduced to $6.995 million (when it was first on the market the price wasn't listed but it was expected to be in the $8 million range). The six-bedroom home was purchased in 1998 for $2.775 million and is located in the genteel Kalorama neighborhood. It has a classic facade with a rather White-House-like entrance complete with a columned portico and a hanging lamp over the front door.

The elegant home has a stately feel. The living room has cream colored decor and paintings reflecting the Kennedy love of the ocean. A long sun room has fan windows and a few Kennedy pictures on a table but the room that appeals most is Kennedy's narrow wood-paneled library which features a fireplace. The home includes an eat-in kitchen and a home gym set up with an Endless Pool. Mrs. Kennedy isn't leaving Washington, she has purchased a smaller three bedroom in the area for $1.65 million.

What a grand home! Stunning decor, very stately as this family is and always has been. I can picture him in this home easily. It seems nothing is moving. I look at this example, hear from realtor friends across the country, and look around here and realize we are in a standstill in home sales.

This mansion is simply beautiful with one entire year on the market. What a jaw dropper!

Yeah, JLS, "nothing is moving here" -- an $11,000,000 home in Georgetown went under contract earlier this week. Guess that's "nothing." Thank you for once again broadcasting your cluelessness and demonstrating why attorneys are such a ridiculed & derided lot. One can only imagine where you got your juris doctorate......

There are multiple reasons why this home hasn't sold, although it makes little sense to recite them for a clueless rube like you.

Your continued personal diatribe is sickening to me. You inititally attacked Deidre and then turned on me when I defended her. You respect no one.

Please stop your immature posts.

I agree, Rich.

To all who have witnessed the attack on me for defending Deidre's efforts here:

Please accept an apology for this interchange between Rex and myself. While he continues this sort of thing, I will not. I will leave judgement of him to all of you.

This is not why I come here in the first place. I just felt Deidre deserved more respect than he seems to give her.

Case closed.
