Former Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh’s house in Spring Valley hit the market late last week for $2.6 million. Bayh, a moderate Democrat, left the Senate in 2010 and went on to become a Fox News contributor and an adviser.

The colonial-style home near Sibley Hospital is unsurprisingly designed for formal entertaining, with large, decorated living spaces. The house at 5170 Tilden Street NW (map) spans 5,000 square feet.

Bayh has owned the home for two decades, according to the listing. Since it’s so set up for entertaining, the most casual space is in the basement, where a large TV sits adjacent to a small bust of Abraham Lincoln.

Here are more details and photos of the property:

• Full Listing: 5170 Tilden Street NW (map)
• List Price: $2.595 million
• Bedrooms: Six
• Bathrooms: 5.5
• Year Built: 1939
• Listing Agent: James Kaull, Washington Fine Properties

   Evan Bayh is a former senator from the state of Indiana, not Illinois. Also the Indiana state flag is hanging next to the front door in picture one.

   Hey pacerguy, we said Indiana in the post -- are we missing something? Lark

   Ah... My bad. I was reading an older copy. Looks like you all got to it and I didn't refresh my browser before commenting. Sorry for any confusion.
