We're neighbours! Taylor Swift moves next door to the Kennedy compound as she 'buys $5m Cape Cod mansion'



Conor Kennedy and Taylor Swift have only been dating a couple of months, but his famous family have already welcomed her to the family.

And it seems she has taken them at their word, buying a $4.9m oceanfront mansion right across the street from the Kennedy compound where they spend their summers.

Taylor spent an idyllic vacation in Cape Cod with her boyfriend and his family earlier this month, and returned there for a second time this weekend.

She was so taken with the area that she went househunting. And with her fortune to spend the pretty 22-year-old soon found the perfect holiday home - a seven bedroom Colonial style mansion.

They're that close: Taylor Swift is said to be considering buying a home within the Kennedy Compound We're neighbours! Taylor Swift has reportedly bought herself this luxury vacation home in the Kennedy Compound in Hyannis Port

The 13-room 1928 home was originally on the market for $13.5million two years ago, making it one of the most expensive summer homes around. But with no buyers the price was slashed by more than 60per cent.

The house overlooks Nantucket Sound and features a private beach and a separate guest house.

It is located on a private road with a security guard. According to the Boston Herald the estate was previously owned by the Coleman family.

The Kennedy family have been spending their summers at Hyannis Port since 1926, when businessman Joseph P Kennedy Sr first rented a cottage. Two years later he bought and extended the pretty cottage to form the first Kennedy home on the waterfront.

Here his nine children spent their childhood summers, including future president John F and future senators Bobby and Ted.

Brothers JFK and Bobby would later buy two of the neighbouring properties, extending the family presence, and the summer tradition of holidaying on Cape Cod continues to this day.

Conor's grandmother, family matriarch, Ethel, 84, told journalists at a recent Television Critics Association event in Beverly Hills that the family 'should be so lucky' to welcome Swift into the fold.
