Tour The Obamas Stunning New Home When They Leave The White House
The Obamas will call this beautiful DC property home after the president leaves office at the end of this year, according to Politico. They will lease the home until their younger daughter, Sasha, finishes high school.
The home was listed for sale at $5.3 million before going off the market in May.
Though it’s smaller than their current, more famous abode, it’s still a lavish residence in a desirable area of the nation’s capital. It was built in 1928, with 8,200 square feet and nine bedrooms.
It’s being leased to the Obamas by Joe Lockhart, former President Bill Clinton’s White House press secretary.
The Obamas are trading white for brick at their newly leased mansion in the Kalorama section of DC.
It’s completely gated and private, though it sits close to the road.
