Former home of JFK’s grandfather for sale on a quiet cul-de-sac in Dorchester
The home of former Boston Mayor John “Honey Fitz’’ Fitzgerald hasn’t changed hands in over 40 years.
3 Rundel Park in Dorchester is a colonial home built by Dorchester architect, Edwin J. Lewis Jr. and sits on a quaint cul-de-sac lit with gas lamps.
It was also the home of former Boston Mayor John “Honey Fitz’’ Fitzgerald, who just happened to be President John F. Kennedy Jr.’s maternal grandfather, and is now for sale for $558,000.
Metro Boston reported that JFK used to visit the home and that there were even a few phone jacks in the closet so the Secret Service could listen when he was inside. The current owner has lived in the home since 1972.
Story continues after gallery.

The 3,322-square-foot home has six bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, along with high ceilings, crown molding, hardwood floors, and a fireplace in the foyer.
The property’s listing agent Charlene Folan told Metro Boston that the next owner would need to spend around $200,000 to restore the home fully.
