Ben Carson, President Donald Trump’s pick for secretary of Housing and Urban Development, has dropped $1.22 million on a new home in Vienna, Virginia, just outside of Washington, D.C.
Man that thing looks comfy. Nice.
Mr. Carson and his wife, Lacena “Candy” Carson, closed on the brick colonial at the end of January, according to county property records. The seller was Mark Langevin, a lawyer.
The sales history for the home shows that the Carsons got a deal on the 1.5-acre property. The neurosurgeon-come-politician paid less for the home than its last two owners. The house changed hands for $1.56 million more than a decade ago, in 2005, and again in 2012 for $1.3 million.
Mr. Carson, 65, bought the home for a discount off the original asking price, too. He got it for 13% less than the $1.599 million set when the five-bedroom first hit the market last year.
The family will be moving from a permanent residence in West Palm Beach, Florida, to be close to the capitol, where in his future role, Mr. Carson will be tasked with helping boost American homeownership and affordable housing.
A relatively new home, the five-bedroom, five-bathroom house was built in 1993, reflecting Mr. Carson’s apparent penchant for newer construction. Despite its Colonial-inspired facade, it comes with modern amenities, including an intercom, jetted tub, sprinkler system, central air and a mother-in-law apartment, according to the listing.
