Nice location, though...

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.
Private beach?
Huge house?
Tough life being an oppressed minority these days. ;-)
UGH, too bad MV is taken over by the libs, such a nice place otherwise.
How come they don’t hang out with their own kind? Why do they follow the old ugly Kennedy family around?
14 million would buy a lot in Obama’s old hood
I forgot to mention—it looks like the Obamas were lying about global “climate change”. You remember—”the science is settled”.
Uh, well, if they really believed it there is _no way_ they would be buying beachfront property on the East Coast.
Watch what they do, ignore what they say.
pretty confident they won’t end up in gitmo, eh?
Nice location, though...
How whitebread of them.
Follow the money — all the way back to the stimulus package. Or maybe some of that Iran Deal cash???
Amazing that these two grifters will be ahead of the Clintons in managing to amass such a fortune in “public service” at this stage in their lives. Not bad for a couple who had no marketable skills and whose law licenses were suspended.
The Founders never would have thought such a thing was possible.
Um, to steal a line from a past (’75-’85 “The Jeffersons”) sitcom: “ Movin’ on Up “ ...
Netflix money? Book Money?
With that view and acreage I am surprised it doesnt cost more.
There goes the neighborhood.
One of them was not suspended..more like an approved hiatus. You still have to pay your annual fees but you don’t have to take CLE courses.
As for Michelle’s law license...a lot of mystery on that one.
re: “We’re told there are contingencies”
So ... maybe they’ll rent for awhile? Through Section 8 grants maybe?
So Barry and Mike don’t like to live among black people?
Hypocrisy at its finest.
You too can be a community organizer, rise to occupy the nations white hut, and get your bling on.
Just pathetic that anyone at all would vote for these crooks.
Maybe they are going to build something for Secret Service people
Who would have thought destroying America could be so profitable.
Now they have to vote Conservative to hold on to their wealth.
I love the scene from Dr Zivago when he comes home and finds it occupied.
