The President and his family have said they plan to stay in D.C. until their younger daughter, Sasha, is finished with high school. > The Obamas have reportedly settled on this Kalorama house after they leave the White House. [https://t.co/WsoB94jhMO](https://t.co/WsoB94jhMO) [pic.twitter.com/pKURUEBIp8](https://t.co/pKURUEBIp8) > > — Washingtonian (@washingtonian) [May 25, 2016](https://twitter.com/washingtonian/status/735486283124854787) Although it's in what [Washingtonian.com](https://www.washingtonian.com/2016/05/25/obama-kalorama-mansion-pictures/) described as "one of DC’s toniest neighborhoods," the accommodations will still be a step down from the Obamas' current digs. "The house does not give off any vibes of ostentatiousness," Washingtonian.com said, noting that it's lacking ballrooms or a paparazzi-proof backyard. But while the Kalorama mansion is considerably smaller than the White House's 55,000 square feet, it's not exactly lacking in creature comforts, with nine bedrooms, eight-and-a-half bathrooms and a two-car garage, plus a courtyard where up to 10 more can be parked. The home, which last sold almost exactly two years ago for nearly $5.3 million, is owned by former White House press secretary Joe Lockhart, now a communications executive with the NFL, and Giovanna Gray Lockhart, a top editor with *Glamour* magazine. The couple moved from D.C. to New York City in February, Politico said. ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "@id": "https://money.com/barack-obama-washington-dc-white-house/#breadcrumb", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://money.com" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Economy and Politics", "item": "https://money.com/economy-and-politics/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "POTUS", "item": "https://money.com/potus/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "Here's Where the Obamas Are Moving After the President Leaves Office" } ] }, { "@type": "WebSite", "@id": "https://money.com/#website", "url": "https://money.com", "name": "Money", "publisher": { "@id": "https://money.com/#organization" } }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://money.com/barack-obama-washington-dc-white-house/#webpage", "url": "https://money.com/barack-obama-washington-dc-white-house/", "name": "Here's Where the Obamas Are Moving After the President Leaves Office", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://money.com/#website" }, "datePublished": "2016-05-25T21:30:02.000Z", "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://money.com/barack-obama-washington-dc-white-house/" }, "inLanguage": "en-US", "breadcrumb": { "@id": "https://money.com/barack-obama-washington-dc-white-house/#breadcrumb" }, "dateModified": "2024-08-12T01:55:40.000Z" }, { "@type": "Article", "headline": "Here's Where the Obamas Are Moving After the President Leaves Office", "articleSection": "Economy and Politics", "image": [ { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2016/05/gettyimages-503264108.jpg?quality=85", "width": 3000, "height": 2026 } ], "author": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Martha C.
