Barack and Michelle Obama may soon become Kennedy adjacent because we've learned they're in escrow for a remarkable, mega-expensive, Martha's Vineyard estate.
Multiple island sources tell us the Obamas are in escrow for the estate owned by Boston Celtics owner, Wyc Grousbeck. The former Prez and First Lady have been renting the house this summer and loved it so much, we've learned they made an offer. The property is listed at $14,850,000. Our sources say they're paying less, but we don't know how much.
The estate -- incredible. It's 29 beachfront acres. The main residence is just shy of 6,900 square feet. It has 7 bedrooms, so Sasha and Malia have a place to crash, along with several of their friends. It has the obligatory pool, an outdoor fireplace, a chef's kitchen, vaulted ceilings and 2 guest wings. It has incredible views, especially while soaking in the second-floor balcony Jacuzzi.
The beachfront is private ... and comes with a boathouse.
Downside -- only a 2-car garage!!! Sorry kids.
The estate is listed by the realtors who dominate the area -- Tom LeClair and Gerret Conover. They did not return our calls.
The estate is currently in escrow and it's not a done deal just yet. We're told there are contingencies so it's possible it could fall apart, but we're told so far it's a go.
Looks like there’s a lot of space there for a tent city to house the homeless and refugees.
First thing I noticed was the lack of solar panels and windmills.
Both of which are political payoffs. Books, and now movies, are the favored ways Dems collect their layoffs.
Jim Wight’s book deal was chump change compared to these two grifters.
Harry Truman couldn’t afford to rent an apartment when he and Bess moved out of the White House, so he had to move in with his mother in law.
Of all the mansions I’ve seen on the Net, that place has no appeal at all to me...
They received 65 million in book deals...I can’t imagine they’ve sold that many books...Someone ought to look into money laundering...
The democrat motto has always been: Do as I say, not Do as I do!
What ever happened to their Chicago house? Is it sitting there empty and rotting?
There goes the neighborhood!
Martha’s Vineyard could use a good community organizer.
Perfect, bring on the climate change!
They did pretty well for living in a “racist, White supremacist, biased, unfair” country. Presidential salary isn’t enough to pay for this. Book deal helps. Speeches add to the pot.
Is he getting help from his buddies who he helped while he was president? What did he get in return for giving iran billions of our money?
Wow. The Husseins could feed so, so many underprivileged and homeless with that kind of dough. Where is their compassion for their fellow human being? Shame on them...
Talk about a colorless house....must have been built in 50s-60s...from the stone on the fireplace. Ugly landscape too, but then I like lush gardens.
And, the kitchen...looks like a hospital
Well, there goes the neighborhood.
Isn’t this country great? A guy who never held a real job in his life can buy a fourteen million dollar home.
