Barack Obama: discover the interior of his former apartment in Washington, put on sale for more than a million euros

In 2008, Barack Obama made history by becoming the first African American to be elected President of the United States. A feat he repeated four years later, when he ran for his own re-election in 2012. Having been chosen by the American people for ascend to supreme power twice, Barack Obama lived for eight long years in the White House with his wife, Michelle Obama, and their children. Before that, the former U.S. President served as a senator from Illinois. Residing in Washington as part of this mandate, he then occupied an apartment which is now up for sale.

Actually, the apartment in question is located within a townhouse which contains two. It was in the first floor apartment of this house, located less than two kilometers from the Capitol, and opposite Stanton Park, that the future American president lived. A duplex was also just above his home. For its part, the ground floor of the residence where Barack Obama lived is composed of a large open space comprising a kitchen with French windows opening onto the courtyard, as well as two bedrooms and parking. At the time, the senator left this apartment every weekend to find his family on the Chicago side.

Barack Obama: when we made fun of him because of his apartment

“Barack had to be absent for long periods when he was in the Senate or on campaign, and it was difficult for him and for us. The girls missed him and I struggled to fill that void“, had declared Michelle Obama on this subject. During an interview, Barack Obama had revealed that certain people made fun of him at the time, because he was the only senator from Washington whose team lived in nicer apartments than him. The entire townhouse in which Barack Obama’s former home is located has been listed for sale at Coldwell Banker for $1.279 million, which represents more than one million euros.
