[WSBARP] Personal Residence Exemption.

[Robert West]

Residence was owned by husband and wife. Husband died a few years ago,  and wife now wants to sell the house. Even with the step-up in basis as a result of the husband's death, the present gain exceeds a $250,000 exemption. Is there any way to claim a $500,000 exemption?
