Although the main residence of Secretary of State John Kerry and his wife Teresa Heinz Kerry is located in Beacon Hill’s Louisburg Square, their most well-known home might be their Nantucket retreat. That home has now been (quietly) put on the market for $25 million, according to The Boston Globe.

The mansion on Hulbert Avenue has actually been owned by Heinz’s family since 1982 when they bought it for $1.2 million, the Globe notes. The Kerrys were even married there in 1995.

According to the Globe:

“[The sale is] a surprising development, given that the home has been a very public part of the Kerrys’ lives on the island. John Kerry is nearing the end of his term as secretary of state and will be out of a high-profile government position for the first time in three decades. It was unclear if the family was looking at buying another property on Nantucket, or planning to depart for good.”

There are two homes in the compound, the larger of which has 5,600 square feet of living space with five bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and an 81-square-foot whirlpool.
