Gov. Snyder, Wife Plan Move To $2M Condo In Downtown Ann Arbor

ANN ARBOR (WWJ/AP) - Gov. Rick Snyder and his wife Sue are planning to move to a $2 million condo in the heart of downtown Ann Arbor as early as this summer.

The Ann Arbor News says the couple bought a 4,600-square-foot condo in a historic building on Main Street. The condo occupies the top two floors above the Four Directions retail shop, between Liberty and Washington streets.

The condo sold for $1.5 million in August and the city planning commission this week approved a $500,000 addition, including a rooftop deck that overlooks Main Street.

Snyder spokeswoman Sara Wurfel said the Snyders are empty nesters since their youngest child went to college and they're downsizing.

"Their three children are all in the Ann Arbor area, and the Snyders are very fond of the area," Wurfel said in a statement.

The Snyders currently live in a home worth around $1.4 million in Washtenaw County's Superior Township outside Ann Arbor. They chose not to move to the governor's residence in Lansing when the former venture capitalist was elected.
