The best security system in the world (the Secret Service) comes with the house!
From NBC Chicago:
“It’s an advantage not having him here, because the security increases tenfold. It’s challenging and really disrupts the neighborhood,” (home owner) Jacky Grimshaw said to CNBC reporters this morning.
(Husband) Bill Grimshaw says he did become accustomed to the Secret Service presence once he realized he never had to lock his house, or worry about leaving his keys in his car, according to a person familiar with the CNBC interview.
… The security on Greenwood is stiff. Both ends of the street are blocked off by Secret Service, and at least two agents are visible outside Obama’s property at all times.
No cars are allowed on they street unless the belong to residents.

Geez, to have the money to buy this. The increased security hassles would be a blessing. And I’m betting the owners easily get something over the 5 million dollar mark for it too…
Well, our house is about three, maybe four blocks away at the most. It was an advantage living so close at least this last winter–our streets got plowed.
gorgeous house, but where is the chimney for the fireplace?
Oh, that house. I’m in LOVE!
