Bye Bye Stephanopoulos

Stephanopoulos paid $5.2 million for this five-bedroom Georgian in 2006.

Stephanopoulos paid $5.2 million for this five-bedroom Georgian in 2006.

ABC announced that its chief Washington correspondent and host of This Week George Stephanopoulos will take Diane Sawyer’s spot as anchor of Good Morning America.

This could be good news for the New York real estate market—every time Stephanopolous gets a big promotion, he upgrades to a more expensive house.

While working in the Clinton White House, Stephanopoulos lived on two floors of a Dupont Circle townhouse on Connecticut Avenue, above what is now Marvelous Market. He bought the three-story townhouse for $835,000 and rented the ground-level retail space to a now-defunct eyeglass store called Eye Gotcha.

In 1997, the same year he joined ABC as a news analyst for This Week, he sold the townhouse for $1,050,000. In 2002, the year Stephanopoulos began anchoring This Week, he bought a 4,400-square-foot townhouse on 28th Street in Georgetown for $2 million.

After more than two decades in New York, TV journalist Connie Chung and talk-show host Maury Povich are moving back to Washington. The pair bought a seven-bedroom, 11-bath Tudor-style home bordering Rock Creek Park in Northwest DC. Says Povich: “It’s like a new adventure in an old neighborhood.”

Chung and Povich, whose father was legendary Washington Post sportswriter Shirley Povich, both grew up in Washington and launched their journalism careers here. Chung went on to co-anchor The CBS Evening News with Dan Rather, Povich to host the popular newsmagazine A Current Affair.

“Maury thinks I kidnapped him and held him hostage in New York for the last 25 years,” Chung says. “He’s been angling to move back to Washington for years.”
