A neighbor who has tended to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis' house since her death in 1994 now owns it.

The secluded two-story converted barn in Bernardsville, N.J., was purchased by longtime friend Marjorie "Peggy" McDonnell Walsh for $1.47 million on July 27, according to deed records.Walsh and New York attorney George Goodman, who represented Onassis' daughter, Caroline Kennedy, in the sale, declined comment.

The former first lady bought the house on 9.9 acres in 1974 for $200,000. She used it as a weekend home and neighbors often saw her in riding pants or sweatsuits, horseback-riding on her property.
