Boston Globe ^ | 6/10/09

It has five bedrooms, nine fireplaces, and an expansive cook's kitchen for an owner who takes uncommon pride in his culinary skills. For Governor Deval Patrick, the stately Colonial on Hinckley Road in Milton also holds 20 years of family memories.

That aside, Patrick and his wife, Diane, are putting their house on the market for $1.925 million. They have declared themselves empty nesters, have decided to leave their beloved Milton, and are looking to buy a condominium in the city.

"The kids are gone, and I think Diane and I realized it had been months since the last time we were in the dining room," Patrick said in an interview yesterday, after a tour by three dozen realtors set off a buzz in his neighborhood. "It's just weird to have all that space and just the two of us and the dog rattling around in there. It's really time."

One daughter, Sarah, 23, graduated from New York University and is working in New York. Katherine, 19, will be a sophomore at Smith College next fall and is not living at home this summer.

give it a rest guy, get over yourself. Those of us who live in MA can fully understand why this would be breaking news, quit your whining, give the OP a break, it’s over move on.

Check the Breaking News.

Apparently I wasn’t the only one who thought it should not be there.

I grew up in Western Massachusetts, and I had no idea there was a Richmond, MA.

Why is it that Democratic politicians can be percieved as environmentalist and in touch with the comman person, when they live in a house of this size and obviously ..no neighbors close by?

He doesn't even live there, it's a second home.

Ahh..just another humble abode for a governmental official-—servant of the people. Modern day aristocrat dictators lecturing us all.

Oh yeah, the nobility know what my problems and concerns are, sure they do.

That's what happens when they can sign their own paychecks. All payraises for ALL elected officials should be put to a referendum.
