Karl Rove's D.C. House Hits The Market

In the market for a new home? How about Karl Rove's D.C. digs? According to The Reliable Source, Rove just put his Kent neighborhood brick-and-stone house on the market for a measly $1.585 million (he bought the pad for $799,000 eight years ago). It's five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths with several perks:

Real estate photos show sunny kitchen, big entertaining spaces, pleasant yard, lots of bookshelves, one wall-mounted deer head.

Rove's aide said he'll be moving to Texas, presumably to be closer to friends.

He wants to move back to Texas so that he can run another Presidential Campaign - in case of Texas secedes.

Just don't open the closets, or you'll be cleaning up skeletons for years...

I'd want to sterilize it for about a year before moving in.

Whoever ends up purchasing it will have to burn a s*t*load of sage first to purge it of his putr id stench and terrib le energy.

Did anyone else hear that C-Street was looking to relocate? I am sure that place will hold secrets for them as well as it did for Karl.

Note to realtors: Offer prospective buyers a one year contract with Terminix or Orkin and a crime scene clean up by Jani-King.
