Hamptons home where Jackie Kennedy spent her childhood summers hits the market for $7.5 million

The Hamptons home where Jackie Kennedy Onassis spent her childhood summers has hit the market for $7.5 million. 

The three-story, six-bedroom estate, named Wildmoor, sits on an acre of land and is located just a stone’s throw from the ocean at East Hampton. 

Onassis’s wealthy grandfather, Wall Street stockbroker John Vernou Bouvier Jr., purchased the home in the early 1900s. 

Onassis – who was born in 1925 – was raised in New York City, but would escape the Big Apple each summer to spend the warmer months with her family at Wildmoor.

The 4,500 square feet home features a wraparound porch, a stunning atrium and four full-size bathrooms. 

The property also comes complete with a large separate art studio, where Abstract Expressionist Adolph Gottlieb once completed many of his famous paintings.  

According to Sotheby’s International Realty, which has listed Wildmoor for sale, Onassis’ family ‘hosted weekend polo matches in a nearby field and entertained friends in the gracious home’. 

 The listing further claims that the estate boasts ‘an extraordinary legacy of art and glamour’. 

While the home has been tastefully updated since it belonged to Onassis’ grandfather, there are still some original features included in the home. 

A wood-fired oven, a claw bathtub and floral wallpaper all date back to the time the home was owned by the Bouvier clan.

During her summers at Wildmoor, Onassis spent time playing in the gardens and at the beach, as well as riding horses. She later became an avid equestrian. 

Onassis would stay at the home with her father, John Vernou ‘Black Jack’ Bouvier III; her socialite mother, Janet and her younger sister, Lee. 

Onassis’ parents split when she was 11 years old, but she still continued to spend time in East Hampton.  

During her stays, Onassis would frequently socialize with her aunt, Edith Bouvier Beale, and her cousin, Edith ‘Little Edie’ Beale. The mother and daughter lived in the Grey Gardens estate – located just down the road from Wildmoor. 

Grey Gardens has become one of the most notorious homes in the Hamptons, after the Beale mother and daughter continued to live in the estate up until the end of the 1970s.

 By that time, the home had become squalid, filled with cats, raccoons and garbage.

At the same time, Onassis was living a very different life. After serving as First Lady from 1960 until 1963, Onassis went on to marry Greek shipping heir Aristotle Onassis in 1968. 

She spent her later years living back in New York City, where she worked as a book editor for Doubleday. 

Meanwhile, her younger sister Lee also became one of the world’s most glamorous public figures, tying the knot to Polish prince Stanisław Radziwiłł .
