The 1 Logical Reason Justin Trudeau Doesn't Live in the Prime Minister's Estate

As the son of former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, Trudeau's home for much of his childhood was the traditional PM's residence. The limestone property was built in 1868 and is set in four acres on the south bank of the Ottawa River. It has 35 rooms spread over four floors, interconnected by an elevator, and a sweeping oval-shaped spiral staircase. The public rooms were elegant and classic rather than grand, with sculpted ceilings, modest chandeliers, and exquisitely upholstered furniture suites. Trudeau's father had a swimming pool installed, and Trudeau (on the left in this picture) and his brothers would utilize the tumbling mats in the basement.
