The former president put a for-sale sign on his seven-bedroom house in Saddle River, N.J., and plans to move into a three-bedroom, four-story town house in nearby Park Ridge, spokesman John Taylor said Tuesday.
"The Nixons have decided that they would prefer to spend their energy on activities other than maintaining a large house on four acres," Taylor said.
Taylor said he did not know the purchase price of the new home or the asking price for the 15-room contemporary house in Saddle River. The Nixons bought it in 1981 for $1.25 million and made $300,000 in improvements, he said.
Hoyt Axton, the country singer and actor, has filed for divorce from his wife of 10 years.
Axton, 52, and his wife, Donna, separated Jan. 7.
Monday's filing indicated there was a premarital agreement that would give custody of their 7-year-old son, Matthew Christopher, to Donna Axton.
