A beautiful home but totally not my style at all....Love the pool and the outside area though..Too ornate in the inside for me!

I love the outside.

The inside is beautiful, but a little too ornate for me as well.

I do love a fireplace in the bedroom. That always looks so cozy to me.

I think it is gorgeous. Exactly where I'd have expected her to have grown up.

The ceilings and crown moldings are exquisite.

Stunning and all the details and character are amazing.

Love those hardwood floors, too.

Love the grounds and the layout of the rooms, but the furnishings are too over-stuffed and velvety for my taste.

Do the furnishings convey with the property?

I agree with the other posters, too ornate for my taste in the interior.

Certainly, I'll tweak a few things and simplify a bit once we've gone to settlement, but overall... it's not too ornate for me...

Wow, absolutely beautiful. I can see it suits her. No wonder the president went after her. He definitely married up.

I think they were pretty much on the same level.

The house is very elegant, but not at all my style. It sure would be fun to have unlimited funds to do a makeover.

The pool house is much more my style!

Editing my post to say I like the back of the house much better than the front.

I was going to write that exact same thing.

Love the outside area, inside - not so much.

I wonder where you'd put the cat's litter box?

@Kachina624 In the servants' quarters.

I tend to agree, he married up. His family was financially well situated, but her family was probably more 'high-born'...

The Kennedys were "nouveau riche", her family was more "old money".

Wow. I love the bedroom, it looks calming and peaceful.
