As President-elect Barack Obama prepares to move into the White House, President Bush has picked up some new property for his life post-1600 Penn, when he leaves office in January. George and Laura have ponied up for a 8,501-square-foot, four-bedroom, ranch-style home in Preston Hollow, a wealthy North Dallas neighborhood where they lived before he became governor of Texas in 1995. I guess George is saying goodbye to the Georgian style.
Preston Hollow counts some other prominent residents, including Dallas mayor Tom Leppert, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, former Dallas Cowboys Roger Staubach and Chuck Howley, and billionaire investors Harold Simmons and T. Boone Pickens, among others, so the Bush family should feel right at home, and perhaps their new neighbors won't be starstruck. The word on the sale price is that the property sold for "considerably more" than its $2.1 million appraisal price. There's also rumor that the couple is under contract to purchase an adjacent home, which they may tear down, use for an office, or for secret service. To see photos of that property, read more.

1Pretty, although I'm not a huge fan of ranch styles.
2There's no place like Texas
3Wow, he's practically going to be my neighbor.
4Doesn't anybody else think that 8500 sq. ft. is absolutely absurd?!
5I love the trees, but the house seems quite 'suburban'.
6Don't forget about Mike Modano of the Dallas Stars! He and his wife also live in Preston Hollow. It's a beautiful neighborhood.
7freakshow, I'm jealous!
8Why krae85? Because I might be sharing the same zip code as W? I'm not quite so tickled pink.
9I just Googled the address to see the satellite and street view(I'm not a stalker!). It really is an enormous house but the neighborhood seems lovely. Lots of trees.
10I'd love to live by Dubya! I'll trade ya, you can come live by Ron Paul!
Mich, you ARE a stalker, lol J/K.. ::googles address::
11I live a few miles from where they are moving and have my own catering company that does a lot of events in his neighborhood. All I keep thinking is "I wonder if he has hired his private chef yet!!". I would love that job!
12This is so beautiful. I wish them well, happiness, and relaxation.
13Personally, I would be ticked off to be a neighbor because of the secret service detail that will be attached to him and the potential crazies who will flock to neighborhood just to see where he lives.
