Where they live: Houses of the presidential candidates

Excellent, fun item at Mother Jones today: a photo gallery of the houses owned by presidential candidates. At left is Mitt Romney’s $3 million New Hampshire cottage. (When I was growing up in New England, you could buy northern New Hampshire for $3 million).

But I digress. It’s worth paging through the homes -- only Mike Huckabee’s is valued at less than $1 million. I don’t believe the prices/values are up to date. Mother Jones lists Hillary Clinton’s home at ‘$1.7 million in 1999.’ Zillow.com, through the miracle of its Zestimates, values the Clinton home today at $3.6 million. The priciest of the bunch -- according to Mother Jones’ reporting -- is John Edwards’ 21,000-sq.-ft. estate in Chapel Hill, NC, valued at $5.4 million. You could have some fun naming that house. ‘Two Americas’ comes to mind, because you could practically fit them both inside the house.
