• e-mail

After spending $23million to buy the biggest home in Washington, D.C., Amazon founder and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos seems to be ready to make some changes to the mansion. 

A renovation truck was spotted outside of the billionaire's 27,000 square-foot home on Wednesday along with a van belonging to a company that installs elevators. 

Bezos purchased the home, which is located in one of Washington's most elite neighborhoods, last year in October.

The 53-year-old can count President Obama and his family, and first daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband, presidential adviser Jared Kushner, as neighbors in the affluent Kalorama area.

The billionaire, who became the second richest person in the world this year, bought the former Textile Museum to turn it into a pied-a-terre in the city for himself and his family, the Washington Post reported.

But Bezos, who lives with his wife McKenzie and their four children in Seattle, had made it clear when he bought the Washington Post in 2013 that he wasn't planning to relocate.

'I won't be leading The Washington Post day-to-day,' he told Forbes at the time.

Bezos slipped into second place on the Forbes 400 this year, after adding $20billion to his fortune as Amazon stock soared 46 per cent, overtaking Warren Buffett who dropped to third place for the first time in 15 years.

The Amazon founder is now only behind Microsoft founder Bill Gates as the richest person in the world. 

The former Textile Museum sold on October 21 to a cash buyer for $23 million. In public documents, the buyer was described as the Cherry Revocable Trust.

And rumors about the identity of the billionaire buyer had been swirling ever since.

The property at 2320-2330 S Street NW, which currently spans two historic mansions, was home to the Textile Museum for almost a century before it moved to George Washington University's campus in 2013.

Textile Museum founder George Hewitt Myers commissioned John Russell Pope, architect of the Jefferson Memorial, to design his home at 2320 S Street NW in 1912.

The adjacent mansion was designed by noted Washington architect Waddy Butler Wood.

Both properties, which are on the National Register of Historic Places, were sold together in May 2015 for $19 million.

They were put back on the market in 2016 at $22 million. And Bezos bought it in cash for one million over the asking price in October 2016. 

The property is based in Kalorama, one of Washington DC's most elegant neighborhoods.

Barack and Michelle Obama are moving into a $5.3million home in Kalorama, so 15-year-old Sasha Obama can finish out high school at the Sidwell Friends School.

Construction permits obtained by TMZ show the home will also be outfitted with an upgraded electrical system as well as a cat walk over one staircase. 

While the stately home is situated just off the street, Secret Service will be guarding the property and an enhanced security system will be installed.

The Obamas are leasing the house from Bill Clinton's former press secretary Joe Lockhart and his wife Giovanna Gray, who works for Glamour magazine.

The home, built in 1928 with nine bedrooms and eight and a half baths, is tastefully decorated in a white, beige and grey palette.

Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, moved to Washington DC to put them closer to the president.
