Dallas, Feb 21 : A month after leaving the White House, former President George W Bush and his wife Laura, shifted to their new home in a wealthy Dallas neighbourhood.

Bush''s motorcade drove past a security barricade on Friday evening, bringing the former first couple to their new residence.

Apparently, the barricade was set up by Dallas Police and Secret Service agents to limit access to the neighbourhood.

"President and Mrs Bush are glad to be back in Dallas, appreciate the warm welcome by their neighbours, and look forward to once again being part of the Dallas community," said Rob Saliterman, a spokesman for Bush''s office in Dallas.

The Dallas home is a 1959 ranch-style brick home located at the dead end street of the posh locality. It consists of four bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms and a wet bar.

The 8,500 square feet house has a wide front yard and dark shutters, with a gate at the top of the driveway that lends privacy. (ANI)
