The vice president's residence will soon be occupied once again.

Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff will be moving into the house at Number One Observatory Circle next week, Harris' chief spokeswoman announced Thursday.

"The Vice President and Second Gentleman will move in to the Vice President's residence at the Naval Observatory residence next week," Symone Sanders tweeted. "The move was initially delayed to allow for repairs to the home that are more easily conducted with the home unoccupied."

Sanders added that repairs to the house included "maintenance on the HVAC system, replacing the liners in the chimneys and refurbishing of some of the hardwood floors."

The Victorian residence on the grounds of the United States Naval Observatory has been home to every vice president since Walter Mondale — including Biden, 78.
