Though it’s no longer on the market, one of this year’s buzziest listings was Jackie Kennedy’s former home in Georgetown, Washington, which was sold by Sotheby’s International Realty. The imposing residence contains a whopping 13 bedrooms including an enormous principal suite with a private balcony. 

San Lorenzo Road, California – $3.995 Million

A recent addition to the market is this mid-century mountain-retreat previously owned by Frank Sinatra. It features a tennis court and swimming pool alongside a three-bedroom guest house and a one-bedroom pool house. If it’s good enough for Old Blue Eyes, it’s good enough for us. bhhs.com
