If you have ever dreamed of living like Taylor Swift—even just for the summer—you might want to check out the home she once called hers in Cape Cod. This 5,064 square-foot Hyannis Port mansion, where the pop superstar stayed during her 2012 summer romance with Conor Kennedy, is back on the market for $14.5 million.
Yes, this is the same home where she spent those “Starlight” nights and where her brief Kennedy-era love story played out. According to Robert B. Kinlin, the current listing agent, “She purchased [the home]… It’s no secret that she was dating one of the Kennedy kids. And when that ended, someone else stepped in and bought this.”
Where is Taylor Swift’s Cape Cod mansion located?
The estate sits at 27 Marchant Avenue in Hyannis Port, right in the heart of the Cape’s most exclusive neighborhood. What makes this location so iconic? For one, it is within eyeshot of the legendary Kennedy Compound. This means that during her stay, Taylor was literally neighbors with one of America’s most famous political families.
And the view? Expect stunning, panoramic scenes of Nantucket Sound, giving you those peaceful, sea-soaked vibes you often hear in Taylor’s lyrics.
What does the inside of Taylor Swift’s old mansion look like?
You are not just paying for the Swift connection. This eight-bedroom, seven-bathroom property offers the kind of luxury you would expect from a seaside star retreat. There is a sun-drenched sunroom, a charming outdoor pool, guest quarters, a circular driveway, and even a three-vehicle garage.
While Taylor owned it, the place leaned into a more classic, old-money aesthetic. But after she sold it, the new owners gave the space a full makeover. Kinlin noted, “Taylor had it, it was very nice, but it was older, looking dated. This couple breathed new energy and blood into the place… very soothing.” The bones remain the same, but now it has a fresh, calming modern vibe.
How long did Taylor Swift live in Cape Cod?
Taylor lived in the house for about six to eight months during 2012 while she dated Conor Kennedy. The whirlwind summer romance may have ended in the fall, but that time clearly left its mark—both on the house and in her music.
Kinlin, who handled the original sale, did not deal with Taylor directly but instead negotiated with her dad, Scott Swift. “I saw her from a distance,” he said, “but all the rigmarole that goes along with purchasing a home, I worked with her dad.”
Did Taylor Swift write any songs inspired by her time in Cape Cod?
Absolutely. If you have ever heard “Starlight” or “Begin Again” from her Red album, you are listening to lyrics shaped by those Kennedy summer days. According to the late Ethel Kennedy, Conor’s grandmother, Taylor was the perfect guest: “She’s game… She played anything that everyone else was doing. And she was good at it, and no fuss.”
So, if you are looking to channel a bit of that ‘Red’-era magic, this might just be your dream summer home—if you have a few million to spare.
