When the first family
leaves the White House in January at the end of Barack Obama's
presidency, they are reportedly moving into a cozy 8,200-square-foot
mansion close by. According to Politico, the Obamas will be leasing the property, which is situated in Washington D.C.'s Kalorama neighborhood.
Built
in 1928, the home features nine bedrooms, eight-and-a-half bathrooms, a
two-car garage and a courtyard that accommodates up to 10 vehicles.
It
was sold in May 2014 for $5,295,000. Before being sold, the estate was
home to former White House Press Secretary Joe Lockheart and his wife, Glamour editor Giovanna Gray.
The
Obama family decided to stay in the nation's capital to so Sasha can
finish high school. Meanwhile her big sister Malia will be matriculating
to Harvard in the fall of 2017.
Here's a look at their sprawling new abode.
