Four spacious bedrooms with full ensuite bathrooms are located on the second floor. A fifth bedroom, a fourth complete ensuite bathroom, and a large, light-filled bonus room are on the upper floor. The sixth bedroom, with its own en suite bathroom, a workout studio, and a crafts area, are all located in the basement.
Reacting to the news, one user commented, “I don’t know that Jackson and her husband are that rich. Many Americans are struggling to pay a $2500 rent or mortgage and she is selling a $2.5 M property making almost $700K out of it. I thought she said she was middle class during her nomination. If she is middle class, I am the sub-bottom of the lower bottom.”

Another added, “Sounds like a lovely home if you have a large family. I did not realize her husband is a surgeon and Georgetown professor. They have both worked really hard and are well educated. Hope they find something that works well for them. House hunting is quite an effort.”
To which another user countered, “I am not so sure she is so educated. She cannot define a woman. I wonder what other legal meanings she does not know or understand.”
