I agree not a fan.

I read somewhere that they bought It for Chelsea and her family to use when they visit Bill and Hillary. She lives in NYC, so this is not their permanent home which is why the decor is probably a little more plain and generic. Of course, who knows, maybe they plan on some renovations.

I think this looks like staging. These pictures are from Zillow which would be before they bought it, right?

Interesting, I haven't heard she lives in the city. I thought she lived in Chappaqua, which is in Westchester. It's less than an hour from the city, 45 minutes maybe.

Ahh, you meant Chelsea lives in the city, yep. Ignore my comment above.

Yes, I don't think that's their furnishings. The house itself though, not a fan. But it's next door to their current home so they've just expanded their property.

The Clintons' house is at the end of a cul-de-sac so I think it made sense to buy up the adjacent property when it came on the market. There is also some talk that Chelsea may one day run for Congress in Westchester when our long-time congresswoman retires, so this would give Chelsea a Westchester residence if this rumor is true,

I'm certain it'll be renovated. They appear to be building a family compound.

It is already being renovated. It came up during the campaign that they were doing some work on it without permits.

Looks like a 1960s house that's been updated, and when they opened the walls they needed pillars and soffits at the beams to hold it all up. Except for the pillars, I like it!

I saw this below HERE .

when they bought it 9/22/16

"A
source said the home could be used as a weekend retreat for their
daughter, Chelsea, her hubby, Marc Mezvinsky, and their children,
Charlotte and Aidan.

“Rumor has it that the Clintons plan to use this as a mother/daughter
house for Chelsea and her kids to visit on the weekends when they want
to escape the city and their Flatiron digs since the Chappaqua house has
a nice pool and plenty of rolling green lawn for kids to play on,” the
source said.

The Clintons, who moved to the cul-de-sac in 1999, could also use the
extra space to house staffers as the presidential election looms and
later if Hillary wins the White House, the local added.

Their new house was listed for $1.18 million with Douglas Elliman and sold in August, records show.

The neighboring house, 33 Old House Lane, is at right.

According to the listing, the “beautifully renovated 3-bedroom ranch
boasts an open floor plan, pecan wood floors throughout, modern chef’s
kitchen with Viking, Subzero and Asko appliances, opens to an eating
area with fireplace and the family room, all with built-in cabinetry.”

It also has a 212-square-foot basement — plenty of room for a private email server.

The tax bill is $28,790 a year.

“The master suite has a newly redone bathroom and 2 spacious walk-ins
closets. Large windows throughout that overlook private, flat
property,” the listing said.

The ranch is a far cry from Chelsea’s super-luxe $10 million NoMad
pad in a small luxury building where Jennifer Lopez has the penthouse.

Meanwhile, access to the cul-de-sac is even more restricted.

“The Secret Service closed off [part] of the Old House Lane
cul-de-sac, so no one can just drive in like it was open before,” the
local resident said.

“Now you can’t get close to it anymore. Now they have a little compound.”

The house had been owned by architect Charles Chepigin.

The Kennedy compound on Cape Cod includes three houses on six acres of waterfront property along Nantucket Sound.

President John F. Kennedy used the compound as a base for his 1960
presidential campaign and later as a summer White House and family
retreat."

The columns seemed shoehorned in to a design that doesn't have anything resembling neoclassical bones.

I covet the kitchen cabinets.

Yes. Location, location, location.

I love a sprawling rambler. Looks like some nice sized rooms and good layout. Interesting that looks like baseboard heat? I would want to change those round columns. Love the pool area.

I'm not a fan, but I'm glad someone else has 8 foot high ceilings. :)

The taxes -- oof!

I'm not at all impressed by the house itself, but when it's decorated by and for the family, I think it will look a lot better. At least, I hope so! The pool and grounds are lovely, and I'm happy for them that they now have more of a family compound. I'd love something like that myself for our adult kids.

Jakabedy, that's what taxes are like around here in Westchester. Actually, that is on the low side for a nice house in a "good town" with a pool. I am sure they will go up after they renovate.

That's what taxes are like in NY period.

I have a second home in Sullivan county, a weekend property. It's only around 2800 sq ft. My taxes are about 8.5k a year. And this is a poor county.

Westchester is a whole 'nother story.

My BFF lives in North Salem. Her taxes are in the same ballpark as what the Clintons are paying.

I can't wait to retire and move out of here.

Well, none of us have "room for Secret Service detail" on our list of must-haves.

Being a high-profile person complicates your life.

Not a fan of the columns but I'd live with them in order to have all that light, myself. I would have them made more modern looking, though. Looks like it could be a very lovely home when it isn't just full of staging. I especially like that from the outside it looks like it could be almost anybody's house, in my neighborhood or a number of neighborhoods around town.

I don't get the mix of columns and the curves (not really arches) in the doorways and the windows.

But I like the space of the living areas.

Overall, I like it, but I would put something over the columns so they looked more modern.

Me too jakabedy...those taxes oooouf!
