This is the Texas home that George W. Bush has purchased for his fast-approaching post-White House years.
The home, on a Dallas cul-de-sac, sits on 1.13 acres and offers 8501 square feet of living space, according to city appraisal records. The property was purchased for $2.07 million in early-October by Robert McCleskey, the president's accountant, who is listed as trustee on deed records.
Built in 1959, the home has been improved with a detached garage (1150 square feet), servants quarters (896 square feet), and a storage building (240 square feet).....

President and Mrs. Bush Attend 2008 Lighting of the National Christmas Tree Ceremony THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. Mr. Secretary, thank you for the introduction and thank you for the warm welcome. Laura and I are pleased to welcome all of you here for one of Washington's great traditions, the lighting of the National Christmas Tree.
Santa, thank you for finally showing up. (Laughter.) I know you've come a long way. After all, you do live in the North Pole. You may have heard that Laura and I are going to have plenty of time next year. (Laughter.) So we look forward to returning the favor. The problem is we're going to be short on an airplane. (Laughter.) Have you got an extra sleigh? (Laughter.) .........(more at above link)

On another thread I read that the house next door was purchased at the same time, speculating that President Bush and the First Lady may have been the buyers of both properties. I would see this as a wise decision for security and more space.

Certainly is coal at the bottom of those trees. Maybe BSF knows-he posted from Denmark one Christmas.

You are first tonight and win the toaster.

I read that, also. I wonder if it is the BIG estate next door...the biggest house in Dallas?
To: mrs tiggywinkle
This is the house next door but there is another house next door and I don't know which one was sold.
While the Bush property certainly appears comfortable, it is dwarfed by the 20-acre estate it abuts. That sprawling property (seen here) is owned by billionaire investor Tom Hicks, who, in 1998, purchased the Texas Rangers from a partnership in which Bush held a stake (the deal netted the future president about $15 million). Hicks, 62, was a leading supporter of Rudolph Giuliani's presidential bid.
