official residence
Leader's designated dwelling
An official residence is a building designated for a high-ranking officeholder to live in during their term—the White House for U.S. presidents, 10 Downing Street for British prime ministers, governor's mansions for state executives.
The residence typically serves both as a home and a venue for official functions: The ambassador hosted dignitaries at his official residence.
