Regis Philbin lists his 5,919-square-foot house in Greenwich, CT for $5.4M
Talker Regis Philbin and his wife have placed their four-bedroom, 5,919-square-foot house in Greenwich, Conn. on the market for $5,400,000.
In a Big Time Listings exclusive, we can report on Philbin’s listing of his longtime brick Colonial-style house in Greenwich, which he has owned since 1992.
Indeed, while there has been chatter on Regis’ own show that he’s selling his Greenwich house, no details on the listing have emerged among any celebrity real estate gossips — until now. So far, all that we’ve been able to learn is that Regis is moving to another house somewhere in Connecticut; public records don’t yet show the evidence of a purchase by Regis, however.
Built in 1980, Regis’ two-story house sits on a 5.68-acre parcel, according to public records. The house, which was featured in 2002 in Architectural Digest, has five full baths, three half baths, a formal dining room, a two-sided fireplace that separates the paneled living and media rooms, a library with a wet bar, a family room, a gourmet kitchen with professional appliances and a custom tiled island, and a breakfast area that opens to a covered terrace, according to listing information. The master suite has a sitting area, fireplace and his and hers baths, while the lower level has a recreation area and an exercise area, according to listing information. Outdoor features include a tennis court, a pool, a gazebo and lush gardens, according to listing information.
Regis purchased the house in 1992 from sportscaster Warner Wolf for $2,500,000, according to public records. He famously told bankrate.com earlier this year that his purchase of the house was the single most “extravagant” thing that he’s ever done.

Regis continues to own a 51st-floor condo unit in the Millennium Tower in Manhattan, which he purchased in early 2001 for $1,200,000.

ICK ! this is disgusting.
Not to be mean, but Regis needs a decorator ASAP. Aye yi yi.
He was talking about how sad he felt putting it on the market. It’s clearly a very difficult decision for him.

Any news on his new place? He said it was bigger?
I think it’s a charming home. Decently priced. I’m really interested in his new home. Anyone know anything about it yet.

He’s moving to North Taconic Road in Greenwich. My brother-in-law does all his tree work!
Is it a much bigger house. He can sure afford. I love looking at homes.
My Aunt lives on this street just about two hundred yards from this place. I go there to visit and I feel like a Diva honey!

I think this is a charming home. I love the decor. GP
Joanne,
Is he on the Greenwich or Stamford side of Taconic?? I believe that road is a border between those two towns in that area. I heard he was leaving Greenwich, so living on the other side of the street would put him in Stamford.
Hope you come back to answer.
Taconic is not in Stamford, it’s only in Greenwich. So Regis is a resident of Greenwich not Stamford.
My Aunt lives on this street. She’s freinds with his realator and he’s only moving a block away to Tactonic Rd.
greenwichgrl,
If you look at a map you will see the northernmost section of Taconic (up by the NY border) does indeed divide Stamford and Greenwich. If you live on the east side of Taconic you are in Stamford and if you are on the west, Greenwich. Not trying to start a dispute but I know what I know for fact.
All the thanks goes to British Government who initiated and supported the rescue at the time of ultimate difficulty
