T
he Jefferson House, the official residence of the US ambassador to Greece, serves as both a home and a diplomatic venue in the affluent Kolonaki district of Athens. This area is known for its neoclassical architecture and proximity to significant cultural sites.
Kimberly Guilfoyle, former Fox News personality and Donald Trump advisor, will soon call the Jefferson House home after being announced as President-elect's pick for US ambassador to Greece. Due to security and privacy considerations, detailed information about the residence's history, architecture, and interior features is limited.
The building reflects traditional Greek architectural elements combined with a Palm Beach aesthetic, harmonizing with its surroundings. Its design includes columns and symmetrical facades characteristic of the area's historical style. Inside, the residence accommodates both private living quarters and official functions, featuring formal reception rooms, dining areas, and meeting spaces that represent American culture while respecting Greek artistic traditions.
The Jefferson House plays a crucial role in US-Greece relations, hosting events that foster diplomatic, cultural, and economic connections. Receptions, cultural gatherings, and official meetings contribute to the ongoing dialogue and partnership between the two nations. The residence has hosted notable events, including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's visit and July 4 celebrations.
The current US Ambassador to Greece is George J. Tsunis, a Greek-American lawyer who assumed the role in May 2022. During his tenure, he has hosted several events at the residence, including a reception honoring Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew. The Fulbright Commission Awards Ceremony and a reception for the FLEX alumni community were also held at the residence.
Guilfoyle's new home will be a significant change from her previous residence in Jupiter, Florida, where she lived with Donald Trump Jr. in a six-bedroom, 11-bathroom mansion occupying over 11,200 square feet.
