Another piece of history for sale: the Potomac home of Eunice and Sargent Shriver, the last of the Kennedy family estates in the Washington area. We've learned that the 16,000-square-foot mansion will be listed Monday for $11.8 million.
(...) In 1986, the Shrivers moved from their home on D.C.'s Foxhall Road (once owned by Nelson Rockefeller) to the seven-acre property on Harrington Drive just off River Road. They tore down the existing house and built a sprawling 10-bedroom, 11 1/2 -bath Georgian manor -- pool, servants' quarters, etc. -- as home base for their five children (four sons and daughter Maria), grandkids and assorted Kennedy cousins and in-laws.
(...) The estate will be listed by Washington Fine Properties, which is also selling Hickory Hill, Ethel Kennedy's property in McLean -- still on the market after five years (just $12.5 million, down from the original asking price of $25 million).
