Property Details

Step into timeless sophistication at the iconic Kennedy Mansion — a beautifully preserved 1917 Colonial Revival estate listed on the National Historic Registry. Graciously set on over two private acres in the heart of Canton, SD, this one-of-a-kind 2-story residence blends historic charm with modern luxury across nearly 5,500 finished sq ft. A dramatic foyer welcomes you into the heart of the home, where elegant entertaining spaces meet rich original details and a layout designed for both grandeur and comfort — including formal living and dining rooms, a classic billiards room, a cozy office/study, a luminous sunroom, and a covered wraparound porch perfect for gathering or relaxing. The dining room makes a stunning statement — ideal for hosting unforgettable dinners and celebrations. The thoughtfully updated kitchen flows into a charming butler’s pantry featuring original built-ins, including a vintage ice box and a preserved historic milk chute — a rare and delightful nod to the home’s heritage. A main-level laundry room adds everyday convenience. Upstairs, six spacious bedrooms offer timeless character and peaceful privacy, along with a second sunroom — a tranquil space for reading, relaxing, or soaking in natural light. A highlight of the home is the expansive walk-up attic, offering nearly 2,700 sq ft of unfinished wood flooring and open potential — perfect for a creative studio, fitness space, guest retreat, or even VR pickleball. Modern comforts enhance the historic elegance, including custom walk-in closets, automated blinds programmed to rise and lower with the sun, a full-property sprinkler system, heat-sensitive security system, and a heated driveway plus tuck-under heated garage for effortless winters. The property also features elegant lamp posts on timers, no immediate neighbors, and is ideally positioned next to both the middle and high schools, with backyard access to the school’s walking track. Enjoy proximity to Newton Hills State Park for weekend hikes and scenic views. Surrounded by 14 species of thoughtfully planted trees, the Kennedy Mansion is more than just a home — it's a lifestyle, a legacy, and a rare opportunity to own one of South Dakota’s most treasured properties.
