Although George Washington selected the site for the White house, he was the only president who never lived there. It was first occupied in 1800 by John Adams.

It is true that Washington was the only president who never lived in the Whitehouse, but Harry Truman almost qualifies as well. During much of the time Truman was president the White House was under repair and he lived in Blair House.

James Madison also spent a large portion of his second term living outside of the White House. It was in need of serious repair and receiving extensive fire damage during the War of 1812.
