Step Inside the Home of America’s Richest Socialite 💫

Tucked away in the woods of DC, this historic mansion is absolutely worth a visit! 🏰🌳 It was once the private residence of Marjorie Merriweather Post—renowned American socialite and philanthropist. She spent her life collecting exquisite art, treasures, and decor. The moment you step inside, it’s like entering The Great Gatsby 🥂✨—every detail and piece reflects her passion for luxury and refined living. Hillwood houses an impressive collection of Imperial Russian art, including Fabergé eggs 🥚, royal porcelain, and religious icons. You’ll also find 18th-century French-style furniture, tapestries, and decorative arts 🛋️🎨. The estate retains its original layout—bedrooms, dining room, and study all preserved as they were. The most stunning space? Her daughter’s bedroom on the second floor—everything is dreamily pink 💖, even the bathtub and vanity are made of pink marble! What girl wouldn’t love that? 🛁✨ Beyond the mansion, the gardens are equally breathtaking 🌸🌿. Spanning 25 acres, they include a Japanese garden, rose garden, French parterre, and a greenhouse. Each garden is beautifully designed, changing with the seasons. There’s also a water-feature courtyard—even without water in winter, the pebble pathways kept the kids entertained for hours! 👧🏻🪨 When you’re not sure where to go in DC… come wander here! 🔎 Hillwood Estate, Museum & Gardens 📍 4155 Linnean Ave NW, Washington, DC 20008 🎟️ Garden entry is FREE; mansion admission: Adults 18, Youth (6–18) 10, Under 6 FREE 🕚 Tue–Thu 10 a.m.–5 p.m. #LifeAesthetics #HillwoodEstate #DMVWithKids #MeaningOfLife #ArtCollection #DCHiddenGem #HistoricMansion #LuxuryLifestyle #GardenWander #FabergeEggs #SocialiteLife #DCMuseums #FamilyFriendlyDC #EstateTour #DreamHome
