Don Imus Asks $30 Million for Connecticut Mansion, Estate of the Day

Caustic radio personality Don Imus has just listed his waterfront Westport, Connecticut estate (above) for $30 million. The 10,000-sq.-ft. white clapboard "Greco-Georgian" Revival mansion features 16 rooms including six bedrooms and six baths, with classic white-painted wooden interiors, a library, and multiple bay windows, the Wall St. Journal reports. The four acre property also has a two-bedroom guest house and a two-bedroom gatehouse with parking for six cars.
The estate boasts 215 ft. of sandy beach frontage on Long Island Sound. Imus, 68, bought the property in 1997 for $4.6 million and finished building the house in 2000. If he does manage to get $30 million for it, he'll beat the price record for Westport - the tony town known for famed resident Martha Stewart - held by the $25 million sale in 2006 of talk-show host Phil Donahue's house, the Journal notes. The listing is here.

Yeah, a real a**hole......not quite. Good guy who chooses to help terminally ill children. I'm afraid you have your wires crossed. Also, love the way he fails to qualify for "estate of the day", I'm sure as a result of his "caustic"-ness or less than socialist agenda.

Is Deidre off today? Is THAT why it's not being called the "estate of the day"??

Evidently someobody out there loves Imus, otherwise he wouldn't have all that he has.

I take it that "bought the property in 1997 for $4.6 million" means that is what was paid for the land, and the improvements thereon, even in today's depressed market, are what have ballooned it to $30 million?
Good luck with that.
