Jackie Kennedy’s childhood summer home in the Hamptons hits the market for $7.5M
As was first reported by the Wall Street Journal, the historic home in the Hamptons where Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis spent her childhood summers has hit the market for $7.5 million. Known as Wildmoor, the home was built in 1865 and was owned by Jackie’s grandfather John Vernou Bouvier Jr. in the early 1900s. By the time Jackie was a child in the 1930s, her grandparents had bought an even more impressive East Hampton home called Lasata, which left Wildmoor free for Jackie and her parents when they left Park Avenue for the Hamptons during the summer.
According to the listing, Jackie’s parents, John Vernou “Black Jack” Bouvier III and Janet Bouvier, “hosted weekend polo matches in a nearby field and entertained friends in this gracious home.” It sits on a full acre, spans 4,291 square feet, and has six bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms. Architectural features like a gabled roof with dormer windows, larger Palladian windows, a wrap-around porch, and a wrap-around second-floor terrace make this a perfect Hamptons home. The landscaped gardens, complete with a pergola-covered terrace, are also beautiful.
