Washington could not have lived at the White House because it had not been built yet at the time of his Presidency. However, it's not quite accurate to say that he lived at Mount Vernon "instead" of the White House. The nation's first capital was New York, and it was then moved to Philadelphia. Washington lived in an executive mansion in both cities while serving as President. So Mount Vernon never really functioned as Washington's White House. Of course, just like Reagan had his ranch in California and Bush had his ranch in Texas, even while they were primarily living at the White House, Washington always retained his "original" home of Mount Vernon, and he returned there when he could.
