Living in The White House may
seem like a dream come true–complete with a 24-hour cooking staff
and on-ground vegetable garden–but as President Obamas second term
comes to a close, The First Family will soon be on the hunt for a
new, less white, house. Although the Obamas plan to remain in
Washington until their youngest daughter, Sasha, is finished with
high school, as the president announced at a luncheon last month,
their plans beyond that are still unknown. With his oldest
daughter, Malia, headed to Harvard University next spring, Obama
just may find himself back in the city he called home during law
school–perhaps in something larger than his leased
basement-apartment, though.
Below
are homes in the Greater Boston area suited for the First
Family:
This
beautifully renovated, 19th-century home is located 44 Walker St.,
just a stones throw from Harvard Square. Warm wood floors pay
homage to the homes historic roots, while beautiful granite
countertops and stainless steel appliances almost make up for not
having a round-the-clock chef. As Mrs. Obama told
People Magazine
in 2015, in regards to her recent
dining-room makeover, family dinners are crucial…just to eat a
good meal and catch up. Plus, its white.
Street, Cambridge
2.Impressive English-style
Country House
In the
Farlow Hill Historic District, one of Newtons finest estate
neighborhoods, this six bedroom residence beautifully restored in
2011 has an inviting feel with exceptional
details.Sitting on sweeping,
gated grounds with mature trees and multiple terraces for outdoor
living,this impressive English-style country house is just a short
drive fromThe Country
Club. The dine-in gourmet
kitchen adjoins a wonderful family room with which Mrs. Obama can
create her dream kitchen. Soon the family may be pictured with
iced-tea in hand walking out to their heated three car garage on
their way to play a quick nine holes. But first theyll have be
accepted into the elite group of The Country Club
members–something
not even local legend, Tom Brady,
has done.
394 Kenrick Street, Newton
If the
Obamas are looking to be a little bit closer to the heart of
Boston, they should look no further than Beacon Hill. This building
was erected in 1880, but has undergone some major renovations in
the past few years, allowing for beautiful, custom finishes and
modern amenities to await unassumingly inside a beautiful, historic
brick exterior. This home provides the perfect hideaway for the
first family–Boston style, with panoramic city views from right in
the heart of Beacon Hill.
37 Brimmer Street #1, Boston
This
breathtakingly beautiful, 11,318 square-foot, countryside mansion
is the perfect escape from hectic Washington living. It sits on
over 30 acres of rolling, green grass, and is completed by two
charming gazebos, a greenhouse, tennis court, tea house, and guest
cottage/artist studio among the lush meadows and woodlands, which
are sure to cleanse Mr. Obama of every last ounce of stress
incurred in the Capital City. Plus, the two presidential pups, Bo
and Sunny, will be able to live out their doggy-dreams, after being
very popular and so in demand that they have schedules, like the
president, according to the
New York Post.

room with bar – the Obamas may not even know they left the White
House.

This
private 10,000 square foot estate located in one of Lexingtons top
neighborhoods would be a great match for the Obama family. Like the
White House, this home comes complete with an elevator, custom

car garage. With an easy commute to Boston and Route 128, the Obama
family could enjoy the convenience of the city and the privacy of

lady
promotes actively.
