REPLICA OF WHITE HOUSE HAS BEEN SOLD

The home's sale price was $23 million

A mansion in California that resembles the White House is
officially off the market after a buyer scooped it up in late
October.

According to Compass real estate agents, the seller fetched
$23 million in the Oct. 23 sale of the
massive Hillsborough
home nick named the "Western White House."
 

Agent Alex Buljan told FOX Business it was "one of the
priciest sales ever in Hillsborough."

The Hillsborough mansion’s approximately 2.9-acre lot
features an "impeccably laid driveway" and "verdant
greens," the listing said. Also on the estate is a pool
pavilion (below) that sits near the mansion’s backyard
pool. 

The luxury estate has a large pool

The new owner will also be able to work out of a stately office similar to the White House Oval Office
