Check out this $5.3 million house in Washington, DC that the Obamas are going to move in now. It was built in 1928 and sits on 760 square meters (8,200 square feet) and has nine bedrooms.
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.
The gated driveway has plenty of space for Secret Service vehicles.
Fake gas lanterns flank the entrance.
Going inside is a bit like stepping back in time.
The living room is stately.
The fireplace and mantle lend the home a rustic charm.
There are ample seating areas throughout the space.
The family room has a wall of sunny windows overlooking the garden out back.
The real family room is downstairs, though.
The kitchen is bright and updated, with marble countertops and luxury appliances.
It's also quite long.
Next to that is a large dining room — perfect for dinner parties.
Upstairs, the master suite has an attached sitting area.
A dressing room ...
A study ...
And plenty of bathroom space.
There are nine bedrooms in the home in total.
There's also another study upstairs, but the Oval Office it is not.
The laundry room in the basement doubles as a second kitchen.
Out back, the neat garden has plenty of room for relaxing and sunning outdoors.
