It won’t be long before the U-Haul will be backing up to the
White House to move the Obamas out and make way for a new (or old) first
family.
Malia Obama will already be out there in the world finding
herself during the gap year she’s taking before heading off to Harvard. But
President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, and younger daughter Sasha
are going to need a place to live, and you know they’re not going from the
White House to some weak house. We also knew that they were staying in
Washington, D.C., for at least a little while. The president told reporters in
March, “We’re going to have to stay a couple of years so Sasha can finish [high
school].”
Now the New York Times is reporting that the Obamas have found
their new home and it’s a nine-bedroom, eight-and-a-half bathroom mansion in
D.C.’s upscale Kalorama neighborhood that’s only about two miles from the White
House. The home is worth about $5.6 million according to Zillow, although the
Times’ sources say they Obamas will be renting it from the current owners, Joe
Lockhart, a former senior adviser to Bill Clinton, and his wife Giovanna Gray
Lockhar, an editor at Glamour.
Here are some photos of the 8,200-square-foot spread via Redfin,
including the baller living room, baller kitchen and baller back yard (no pool,
though).
