About this home
The Marbury House, built circa 1811, 3307 N Street NW, Washington, D.C. is one of Georgetown’s most notable houses. Its pedigree bridges the early Republic and the Kennedy Camelot era. Commissioned by William Marbury who was a prominent Georgetown financier, staunch Federalist, and the namesake of the landmark Supreme Court case Marbury v. Madison, the residence embodies the style and grace of Federal architecture while carrying an exceptional historical lineage.
The façade is classic and timeless with rose-red brick laid in balanced courses and symmetrically aligned sash windows with deep green shutters. There is a centered entry crowned by a delicate fanlight and a refined cornice that completes the composition. Eschewing ostentation, the design favors proportion, light, and restraint which are all hallmarks of the Federal style that make the home as elegant today as it was two centuries ago. The interior floor plan welcomes one with a gracious stair hall, high ceilings, and double parlor with large scaled spaces conceived for conversation, music, and entertaining. Further is the elegant dining with access to the generous and lovely gardens. The upper floors proved five bedrooms, numerous full baths, a library and an easily accessible walk up attic with high ceilings and windows. The lower floor is well suited for staff with a private entrance. Additionally, the property is enhanced by a one-car garage and two surface parking spaces.
William Marbury’s ownership anchors the home in the nation’s formative years. A trusted figure in John Adams’ Federalist circle, Marbury served in key financial and civic roles in the capital’s infancy. His legal battle in Marbury v. Madison (1803) established the doctrine of judicial review, making his name synonymous with the balance of powers. Thus, a distinction few American residences can claim. In this house, politics, finance, and the social life of early Washington intertwined, giving the property a provenance as substantive as its architecture.
More than a century later, the house welcomed another chapter of American history when Senator John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy made it their Washington residence. Purchased in late 1957, 3307 N Street was the couple’s first owned home in the city. It was a setting for young family life and rising national political ambitions. Their daughter Caroline and, in 1960, John F. Kennedy Jr. were born during this period. Jacqueline who possessed a discerning aesthete, reimagined the interiors several times by shaping the double living room into a warm, polished salon where she hosted “political teas” and small gatherings that subtly advanced her husband’s presidential prospects.
During the 1960 campaign and transition, the townhouse became an informal nerve center. Advisors came and went through the gracious doorway; decisions about Cabinet appointees were considered in the front rooms; and, on winter mornings, the President-elect stepped onto the porch to share announcements with the press gathered along the brick sidewalks. On January 20, 1961, John and Jacqueline Kennedy departed this door for inaugural ceremonies. An indelible moment that fixed the house in the nation’s visual memory. Soon after, the property returned to private stewardship and it’s essential character preserved.
Today, the William Marbury House offers what sophisticated buyers prize most: architectural integrity, enduring materials, large gardens spaces, ample parking and a storied address at the core of Georgetown’s village life. It is a home that has hosted statesmen and young families alike, where measured elegance frames modern living and where every arrival walks through a doorway shared by figures who shaped American history....
