Edwards sells Georgetown home for $5.2M
15 minutes ago
Former Sen. John Edwards, who on Thursday announced he was running a second time for president, has sold his Georgetown house for $5.2 million.
Edwards, the Democrats' vice presidential nominee in 2004, purchased the P Street property for $3.8 million in 2002 and extensively renovated it. After his two younger children finished the 2004-05 school year, the Edwards family returned to North Carolina, where Edwards built a new home on a 100-acre estate in Chapel Hill.
The Washington house had been on the market for since spring 2005. As of last week, the advertised price for the six-bedroom property was $5.6 million.
"It was hard to find the right buyer," said W. Ted Gossett, the Edwards' real estate agent who confirmed the sale. He said the deal closed on Tuesday.
The Federal-style home, located two blocks from Georgetown University, was built in 1830. The four-story, yellow house previously was owned by Washington hostess Polly Wisner Fritchey, the widow of former CIA deputy director Frank Wisner and columnist Clayton Fritchey.

"There are two Americas: the one I come from, and the one my servants come from." ;)
That sounds like a campaign contribution to me. Or maybe a payback for some favor. The fact that the new buyer is not disclosed is suspicious.
That's probably about the right price considering where the house is.
I can't remember. Was this his third or fourth mansion?
And he is unemployed.
Sweet!
Someone in this creep's home state should start a campaign on Edwards dubious home of residence. It is one of the tools the fascists used on Rick Santorum in PA.

...make that three Americas.
Po' folks.
Reg'lar folks,
And the beautifully coiffed, and tooth whitened Slick Shysters who get paid pornographic amounts of money for their ability to sell their snake oil to the idiot assholes who believe them.
We don't want a BRIDGE between the two Americas, Silky Pony. We want a WHOLE THRIVING MIDDLE CLASS between them.
is it just me, or does that FPOS look like Cato Kalin???
