One of North Jersey's most unforgettable transplants elevated a modern Park Ridge townhouse from posh to presidential.

Put up for sale at the end of March, 23 Sherwood Downs was the final home of former President Richard M. Nixon and his wife, Patricia. The asking price is $1.2 million, twice what the couple paid in March 1991.

Located deep within the gated Bears Nest community, the three-bedroom, five-bathroom home was the second Bergen County residence for the Nixons. The pair lived in a 15-room home on 4 acres in Saddle River for nine years before they sold it in November 1990. They moved to 23 Sherwood the following April.

At the time, John Taylor, a spokesman for the former president, told The Record that the townhouse gave them "all the room they need and … plenty of security." It also brought some familiarity.

I wonder what the taxes are?

Yeah.

Trump should sort thru his spare change and buy it just to make heads explode.

You think small. Taxes are for poor people. (Leona Helmesley)

An LLC buys the home and pays the taxes as an operating expense. It really doesn't matter what the taxes are to the ruling class.

Nice house, but don’t care for the neighborhood.

In NY and NJ, you don’t own a house. Its a partnership with the government.

Very similar to serf and feudal lord in the middle-ages

Before you move in, make sure to remove all the hidden recording devices.

Maybe Carl Bernstein will buy it

It’s okay — you just have to know where the long pauses are in the recordings, and do your talking then. :-0

For more than a decade, I worked in the corporate park next door to Bears Nest. There were days when our pagers would go off with PSA's advising us to avoid the North exit of the park because the black cars and Park Ridge PD had the road closed so Nixon could come and go to the golf course. Always around lunch time. A Royal PITA.

His Upper Saddle River home was more of a hotel/casino-sized building on a perfectly manicured state-park like property. Lots of Wall St. big-wigs and old money in that area. Interesting to see how the chosen ones get to live.

Compared to the homes the tech monsters are building here as second homes or third homes, that is a nice little place

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Too bad the home is in NJ.
