Kennedy lived in before checking into the White House is on the market for $7.5 million — and the Kennedys aren't the only prominent people who have lived there.The five-bedroom, five-and-a-half bathroom home in the posh Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, DC, was built in 1811 by William Marbury, a financier and loyalist to President John Adams.That's the same Marbury of the 1803 Supreme Court case Marbury vs. Madison, which established the principle of judicial review. The residence is still referred to as the Marbury House to this day.The Kennedys bought the home in 1957 and lived in it while John F. Kennedy was campaigning to become the 35th president.

Madison.David Molina/Townsend VisualsThomas Jefferson, the incoming president, denied to acknowledge Adams' appointees, which led to Marbury suing Jefferson and ultimately to establishing the process of judicial review."The original builder of the house was prominent," listing agent Michael Rankin told Business Insider. "Having a Supreme Court case brought against President Madison is really kind of a big deal."The case was argued in 1803 and Marbury ultimately lost.David Molina/Townsend VisualsMarbury didn't win the case, but his legacy lives on in his home, known still as the Marbury House.Jackie and John F. Kennedy bought the home in 1957.David Molina/Townsend VisualsThen-Massachusetts Senator John F.

"But it has all of the original floors, casement, moldings and details, and fireplaces. That's all intact, which is so important."The home traded hands a few times after the Kennedys left for the White House.David Molina/Townsend VisualsThe current owners bought the house for $3.35 million in 2004, according to Washington, DC, property records.According to Rankin, the owners are now empty nesters and no longer have a need for the home — plus, they own another home around the corner anyway.Read the original article on Business Insider
