Vice President Joe Biden's brother, James Biden Jr., is selling his Keeywaydin Island home for $5.995 million. According to Miami Currbed, the 4,000-square-foot property was purchased by the Vice President's brother and sister-in-law Sara in 2013 for $2.5 million. The Old Florida-style vacation home sits on five acres of beach front property, and it has a total of six bedrooms and seven bathrooms.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the property which is located on Keewaydin Island, a barrier island off the coast of Naples, is accessible only by boat. It was reportedly purchased as a family vacation home. The Vice President was also seen visiting the property for a few weeks during the holidays accompanied by his Secret Service detail.
Originally built in the 1990s, the property also has a private dock for boat and fishing and also a Tiki Bar. Aside from the main residence, it also has a guesthouse. Talking to the media outlet, Sara revealed that they decided to sell the place because they wanted to have vacations somewhere closer to their home this time. She also said that the place will be memorable for the family since they have spent a lot of vacations there. She revealed that they want to move to the Chesapeake Bay for their new vacation home.
The property is under Naples real estate broker Lori Young of Young Realty Group, who revealed that the inside of the house is wrapped in dark wood paneling. Although it has a private dock, the place has no swimming pool inside.
After his son died last year because of brain cancer, Joe Biden revealed that he will not run for the highest position in the country. He was last seen in this year's Oscars where he gave a speech about fighting sexual abuse.
