Former President Obama's D.C. Townhouse hits the market for $1.3M

A townhouse in Washington, D.C., where former President Barack Obama resided while he was a senator, is now available for sale at a price of $1.279 million. The property's proximity to the U.S. Capitol and the Senate and House offices was likely what attracted Mr. Obama to live there, according to Linda Pettie, the listing agent from Coldwell Banker Realty.

The property is less than a mile away from Capitol Hill and directly across the street from Stanton Park. During cherry blossom season, one can enjoy coffee and breakfast while taking in the stunning view of the blooms. The townhouse has two residences, including the first-floor apartment where Mr. Obama lived and a two-floor home above it, making it a multifamily property.

According to Ms. Petite, the upper-level residence's primary floor has an open design that comprises a kitchen with a pantry, leading to an iron deck and backyard via French doors. The third floor has two bedrooms with ample closet space and off-street parking. Despite not being lavish the house's location is incredibly convenient, making it a desirable purchase with bragging rights.
