The U.S. Ambassador's official residence in Athens, Greece, commonly referred to as Jefferson House, serves as both the ambassador's residence and a venue for diplomatic events.
And it will soon be home to former Fox News personality, prosecutor and Donald Trump adviser Kimberly Guilfoyle after the president-elect announced Tuesday that she was selecting her to be U.S. ambassador to Greece.
Although detailed public information about its history, architecture and interior is limited for security and privacy reasons, some aspects are known.
The residence is located in the affluent Kolonaki district of Athens, an area known for its neoclassical architecture and proximity to major cultural sites.
The building itself reflects traditional Greek architectural elements along with the aesthetic of Palm Beach, Florida and harmonizes with the surrounding neighborhood. Its design includes columns and symmetrical facades characteristic of the area's historic aesthetic.
Inside, the residence is designed to accommodate both private living spaces and rooms for official events. The interior includes formal reception rooms, dining areas and meeting rooms, all decorated to represent American culture while respecting Greek artistic traditions.
The Jefferson House plays a critical role in U.S.-Greece relations and hosts events that promote diplomatic, cultural and economic ties. Receptions, cultural gatherings and official meetings at the residence contribute to the ongoing dialogue and partnership between the two nations.
Photos show that the property is surrounded by manicured gardens, a pool and a veranda.
Notable events include Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's visit in October 2019 and several Fourth of July celebrations.
The U.S. Ambassador to Greece is George J. Tsunis, a Greek-American lawyer and businessman who took office on May 10, 2022.
During his tenure, Ambassador Tsunis hosted several notable events at the residence, including a reception honoring Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew.
On June 7, 2022, the Ambassador's Residence hosted the Fulbright Commission Awards Ceremony, celebrating educational exchange and cooperation between the United States and Greece.
The residence also hosted a reception for the FLEX alumni community, which promoted contacts between participants in U.S. exchange programs.
Until Guilfoyle's split from Donald Trump Jr., she lived with him in Jupiter, Florida, in a six-bedroom, 11-bathroom mansion that occupies over 11,200 square feet.
