Our favorite former POTUS has decided that he needs some well-earned rest, along with his superstar wife. Barack and Michelle Obama have decided to go ahead with the purchase of an uber-luxe vacation home on the beautiful island of Martha's Vineyard.
The estate, formerly owned by Boston Celtics owner, Wyc Grosbeck, is on the market for almost fifteen million dollars. The Obamas reportedly rented it for the summer and enjoyed their time so much that they've decided to put in an offer.
And as you'd expect for that price tag, the property is pretty jaw-dropping. Alongside twenty-nine acres of coast, it also boasts seven bedrooms, a beautiful pool, an outdoor fire pit, and a kitchen fit for a chef. Want to peek inside? Read on.
