This Is the Home Where Mike Pence Stays in DC Currently

Published: December 8, 2016 | By: American Luxury Staff

This modest brick Colonial is what VP-elect Mike Spence currently calls home. Post-inauguration, he will be on his way to Vice-Presidential digs at Number One Observatory Circle, the official residence accompanying the position.

Located in Chevy Chase, a quiet and fairly sylvan D.C. suburb, Pence’s temporary home features 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, and is whitewashed brick. It currently rents for $6K monthly, and is located in a residential area. Clearly, Mr. Pence is taking advantage of a last few months of relatively carefree living before settling into the isolation demanded by the office.

The house, a 1937 construction, is classically Northeast, with a largely compartmentalized feel. It boasts a European-style kitchen with island range, a cozy living room with nicely traditional brick fireplace, and a rear sun porch with deck. A family room which has clearly been remodeled with floor-to-ceiling windows lets in a little additional light. The house sits on about half an acre, and there is a good deal of natural flora for privacy.

In January, Pence will be moving to the 10-acre Naval Observatory on Embassy Row. The Vice-Presidential residence was built in 1893, and spans about 9K square feet. The Observatory compound includes a putting green and pool house.

Before entering politics, Mike Pence, a born-again, evangelical Catholic, was briefly a lawyer. He entered the political game in 1988, taking his first office as an Indiana Representative of the 2nd congressional district, belonging to the Tea Party Caucus.
