Obamas buy their rental home in Washington
The US$8.1m purchase price makes the couple's new house the second most expensive in the Kalorama neighbourhood
Washington
LOOKS like former US president Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama are putting down deeper roots in Washington - after renting a house for their post-White House stint in Washington, the couple has purchased the eight-bedroom, nine-and-a-half-bath home for US$8.1 million, according to property records.
The Obamas have said they plan to remain in DC while their younger daughter, Sasha, finishes high school at Sidwell Friends.
