From the White House to the right house for now the Obamas have picked out their first post-presidential pad, a $5.3 million home in Washington, D.C.'s Kalorama neighborhood.
President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama are leasing the 8,200 square-foot home in the nation's capital beginning January 20, 2017, when their time as the country's first family comes to an end.
The 1928 stunner is a staple in the historic neighborhood, boasting nine bedrooms and eight and half bathrooms, more than enough room to house the Obamas, daughters Sasha and Malia and even the First Lady's mother, who has been living with the family at their current home.
While many former presidents have chosen to move away from Washington, the Obamas have good reason to remain within city limits after they say goodbye to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. President Obama revealed that the decision was made so that his youngest daughter, Sasha, could finish high school.

I wish them well.
