For those interested in American political history, a mansion near the Kennedy compound on Cape Cod is for sale, listed at just under $20 million. NBC Boston reports that the large estate, known for its appearance in former President John F. Kennedy's press conferences, features eight bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and a 500-foot private beach with a custom pool.

The property, listed at $19.8 million, includes a wedding lawn that can hold over 700 guests and offers privacy with tall hedges and gated driveways. Buyers may also appreciate the option to add more structures, like a guest house or tennis court, all of which have been approved according to The Boston Globe. “There’s no way not to feel the history and legacy when you’re on this property,” Brian Dougherty, partner and CEO at Corcoran Property Advisors, told the publication regarding the mansion's historic resonance.

The estate's appeal is enhanced by its closeness to the six-acre Kennedy compound, rich in the family's history. All 26 rooms have oceanfront views, highlighted by large glass windows that provide stunning views of Hyannis Harbor and Nantucket Sound. This sale follows the recent passing of Ethel Kennedy, widow of Robert F. Kennedy and one of the last links to the Camelot era.

Amid regional concerns about erosion, coastal flooding, and rising sea levels in Nantucket, Dougherty noted that this estate's dunes and stone seawall provide durability. These features may reassure potential buyers concerned about the long-term stability of their investment in this historically significant and one-of-a-kind property, Dougherty stated in an interview with The Boston Globe.
