Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman and first former public defender to serve on the Supreme Court, is parting with her Colonial-style Washington, DC, home, per the New York Post and Realtor.com. The 2005 build, which was listed with a $2.5 million price tag, is complete with six bedrooms and five full bathrooms. It’s located just a short drive away from the lively streets of downtown DC. Jackson and her husband, a gastrointestinal surgeon and Georgetown professor, purchased the abode in 2013 for $1.87 million, according to public records.
The justice’s home is on a tree-lined street with a number of heritage homes. Stone steps lead to a porch framed by a white fence. A bright red front door opens into a foyer with a double-height ceiling and a curved staircase. The spacious main floor features a formal living room, a den, and a library, all finished with crown molding and white window trimming.
The kitchen features a carved wood center island, marble countertops, and a double oven. The backyard can be accessed via the dining area, which opens to a deck space outfitted with an outdoor kitchen and fenced-in yard.
Four large bedrooms and three full ensuite bathrooms are situated on the second floor. A fifth bedroom as well as a fourth full ensuite bath and a spacious, sun-drenched bonus space are located on the top floor. The basement hosts a fitness studio, a crafts area, and the sixth bedroom, which also has its own ensuite bathroom.
