A $4.2 Million Home of Presidential Hopefuls
1287 Ballantrae Farm Drive, McLean, Virginia, 22101
What do former U.S. Senator and Law & Order star Fred Thompson and former Utah governor and chemical manufacturing heir John Huntsman have in common? Each ran (briefly) for president in 2008, and both have lived in this 8,852-square-foot, seven-bedroom house in Mclean, Va.
While the house is officially designated as a "colonial," it was, in fact, built in the 1980s as an exact replica of Virginia's Governor's Mansion in nearby Williamsburg. It has six bedrooms and five baths and sits on a relatively modest .58 acre. Prospective owners can enjoy the house's Palladian proportions and if they so choose, plan their own failed bids for the Republican presidential primary.
