Newly minted U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will hang his hat (when he’s not traveling the world) in a $5.6 million house in the Kalorama section of Washington, DC, says Washingtonian magazine. Our records indicate the final price was $5.5 million—but really, what’s $100,000 between friends?

Tillerson, the former ExxonMobil CEO, bought the four-bedroom, 4.5-bath Colonial Revival home from former AOL executive Richard Hanlon and his wife, Pam. The deal closed on Feb. 13.

Tillerson’s move is just the latest in a deluge of DC real estate deals, and the posh Kalorama neighborhood continues to be the desirable destination for political bigwigs. FYI: Supply is tight. We checked, and there are only nine homes currently listed with Kalorama in their description within the nation’s capital.

Kalorama’s list of new residents is headed by former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, who are renting a mansion in the area. Other new neighbors include first daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband, White House senior adviser Jared Kushner.

Kalorama is a ritzy section of Northwest DC near loads of great restaurants and the National Zoo. If you want to voice your foreign-policy concerns to the new secretary and you have massive means, there’s a $7.9 million mansion currently for sale on Tillerson’s street. Just be sure to be diplomatic with your feedback.
