The official home of the prime minister is 24 Sussex Drive in Ottawa but Justin Trudeau won’t be moving in right now.
The house has been falling into disrepair and the Liberal Party says the incoming prime minister has not yet received a full briefing on the situation.
Therefore Trudeau, his wife Sophie and their three children will be moving into Rideau Cottage for the time being – which is on the grounds of Rideau Hall, the governor general’s official home.
An officially designated federal heritage building, Rideau Cottage is by no means small at more than 10,000 square feet with 22 rooms.
