Right after the Obamas left the white house, they purchased a luxurious brick mansion in the upscale Kalorama neighbourhood of DC. This gorgeous 1920s home reportedly cost the former President $8.1 million. Click through to take a look inside.

Of course the kitchen is fully equipped with the cutting-edge appliances.
They might not be hosting state dinners but this dynamic dining room is definitely large enough for entertaining guests.
With lots of storage space, a small mini fridge and dishwasher a well-organized pantry is sure to help keep this home’s kitchen neat and tidy.

The bedrooms, of course! The home’s master suite fits a king-size bed.
Accompanying the master suite, there is a spacious master sitting area which also serves as a study.
This is one of the eight bedrooms, and Michelle joked with Ellen DeGeneres on her show, saying that Obama isn’t happy with the living situation.
This is another bedroom in the home. There’s plenty of options for both Malia and Sasha to choose a post-White-House bedroom.
As a style and fashion icon, we’re certain Michelle will be able to fill every nook of this dressing room.
The master bedroom has both his and her bathrooms with Michelle’s featuring a luxurious deep-soaker tub and vanity.
It might not be as luxurious, but this bathroom features a spacious walk-in shower.
This is one of the eight and a half bathrooms in the mansion. Very cool, huh!
Bonus space can be used as a home office or a gym.

Outback, a lush green lawn provides plenty of room for dogs Bo and Sunny to run and play.
The property has plenty of outdoor space for entertaining – and lots of room for the pool.
A gated courtyard should suffice to hold multiple secret service vehicles, which will be needed once the president leaves office. On top of the tasteful mansion, the Obamas have just splurged $11.75 million on Martha’s Vineyard. Rumor has it that even the White House is no match for their luxury new home. Let’s take a tour inside!
The property spans almost 7,000 square feet and sits on 29.3 secluded waterfront acres facing the Edgartown Great Pond. It’s gorgeous, right?
Take a closer look and you’ll find it looks more like something out of Disneyland. The impressive estate comes with 7 bedrooms, 8 1/2 bathrooms, as well as two guest wings. Wings, guys! Not rooms!
The spacious living room boasts vaulted ceilings with exposed steel beams, multiple couches, and a big fieldstone fireplace. The windows and glass doors offer you a great view of the outside.
No matter where you look in the house, there’s an interesting feature to be found. That huge pillar at the back of the living room is truly a sight to behold!

You didn’t expect to find bunk beds at the former president’s home, did you? While the bunk beds might look kind of strange, they make the room look pretty cozy. Maybe on occasion they have too many guests…
The master bathroom looks a little too modest for this house!
His and her sinks in the bathroom aren’t really side-by-side but are on opposite sides of the counter. This gives each person plenty of space. We have to admit, it is a small, but really nice detail.
The home has multiple decks and balconies for sunbathing, as well as for enjoying the breathtaking views.
Obama is known for his love of basketball, and he has even equipped his swimming pool with a basketball net.
Next to the pool, you’ll find an alfresco dining area shaded by trees and greenery.
The house has a two-car garage.
The estate also comes with a boathouse and private beachfront. The Obamas could never feel bored living here.
