Today's home in Phoenix, Arizona was once the home of John and Cindy McCain. The home, on over two acres, was Cindy McCain's childhood home, where she was raised as a privileged beer distributor's daughter. When the McCains lived there they spent $250,000 remodeling the home back in the 1980s. In 2006, the couple downsized into a condo and put the home on the market. When I first heard about it in 2006, they had a bit of trouble selling the house, listing it for around $3.75 million.

The current owner is going for a bit more. They have listed the home, which has seven bedrooms in the main house and two bedrooms in the guest house, for a hefty $12 million. The home includes a master suite with a Mexican-tiled private patio with a spa and built-in fireplace and seating. The gourmet kitchen has slate floors, granite counters and heavy commercial stainless steel appliances. The guest house also has an attached his/her dressing cabana. More pics at the virtual tour. It seems to have had quite the renovation since the McCains lived there. Check out the pics from 2005 when Architectural Digest visited the McCains. It's virtually unrecognizable except for certain telling details like the fireplace in the master bedroom. I have to say, I prefer Cindy McCain's version of this house.

We mentioned a while back that John McCain and his wife, Cindy were trying to sell their house. Now check out their new digs. KVOA reports that they have spent $4.66 million for a luxury condo in Phoenix. Cindy McCain's trust is buying two condos at 2211 Camelback, a new condo tower that has a rooftop pool and concierge services. The building has original artwork, a resident "party room" with a separate guest entrance from porte-cochere, fireplace, 50" plasma screen television, wet bar and catering kitchen, business and fitness centers. Construction should be done by the end of the year. The political duo will be combining the two apartments to create a nearly 7,000-square-foot residence, which is large but still quite a bit smaller than their 11,000 square-foot old house (which according to the listing is still on the market).

The Arizona Republic brings our attention to Senator John McCain's Arizona house, which has been on the market for three months hasn't sold yet. The McCains have reduced the price of the house to $3.75 million. The nine-bedroom home in North Central Phoenix was featured in the July 2005 issue of Architectural Digest. Mrs. McCain grew up in the home which includes a pool and surveillance cameras. The couple is said to be looking to downsize.
