Kalorama: A Celebrity Hotspot
Karlorama has gained a reputation as a preferred neighborhood for high-profile residents. Notably, former President Barack Obama lived in the area after renting and subsequently purchasing a home in 2017. Jeff Bezos also made headlines with his acquisition of a former museum in the same neighborhood, which he embarked on renovating that same year.
During their time in Washington, D.C., Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner also rented a residence in Kalorama.
Hughes and Eldridge’s decision to list their home reflects the dynamic real estate market in a neighborhood favored by influential figures.
