For those who want to live in a White House inspired home, you will find this home interesting. As a matter of fact, this could be a nice option for President Obama and his family if they want a replacement of the official White House since Obama is just less a year away from his position as President as mentioned by Top Ten Real Estate Deals.
The home in 1111 Towlston Rd, Mclean, Va 22102 is like a scaled-down version of the White House since its blueprints and other elements were taken from it. But there are a few extras in the place and the layout of the staff offices and workday wings were not included to make it more comfortable as a home.
The design of the house is a patriotic labor of love by a Vietnamese who was taken by the United States as a refugee. He was in the country to complete his studies in 1970s and since he cannot go back to Vietnam because of the war, he stayed in the US and expressed his love for America through the design of the house.
The 1.6 acres estate was built in 1995 featuring 14,000 total square footage which includes 8,338-square-feet of living space as well as seven bedrooms and nine baths. The exterior of the house has an attached three-car garage and it also features a detached 1,500-square-foot storage building.
