An estate once belonging to presidential hopeful John McCain is up for auction.
The 13-bedroom home was the childhood home of McCain’s wife, Cindy, according to a press release from The Larsen Co., which is handling the sale.

“Her (Cindy’s) parents built the home in 1951,” said Stewart Larsen, president of Larsen Co. “When she and John got married, they moved in and raised the kids there for 20 years until two years ago.”
Some of the more lavish amenities at the 2.7-acre estate include a full bar and playhouse, theater room, 4-bedroom guest casita, wine-tasting room, and 7-car garage. The house has 14.5 bathrooms, a pool, three ramadas and “resort style grounds.”
The 15,000-square-foot home, which will be auctioned at 1 p.m. on Oct. 25, is at 7110 N. Central Avenue, which is just north of Glendale Avenue in north Phoenix.
Larsen said there’s no minimum bid, but the house is appraised at $12 million and it’s up to the the current owner whether or not to accept the highest bid.

With a house like this, why does he want to move to the White House?

Sale home is good plan. He doesn’t need his home. His wife plan is to stay in white house next year.
