George Stephanopoulos and Ali Wentworth In Washington, D.C., Estate of the Day

Just a few weeks ago we learned that George Stephanopoulos bought a home in East Hampton, N.Y., for $3.5 million. Now comes news that the Good Morning America co-host and his actress wife Ali Wentworth have listed their five-bedroom home on 31st Street Northwest in Washington D.C. The telegenic pair have a designer five-bedroom home that has graced the pages of Elle Decor. The Real Estalker sniffed out the property records finding that they paid $5.2 million for the home back in 2006.

The Georgian Revival home was built in 1907. Interior designer Elizabeth Martin whipped an interior that combines classic decor with pops of whimsey and color. The Real Estalker Mama didn't seem to be wild about the look but I think it does a nice job of combining the personalities of the couple, the more serious and cerebral husband and the equally smart but more whimsical wife. The family room's sedate brown paneled walls get a lift from bookshelves lined in orange and a spider-like overhead light. The home has a sunny but narrow kitchen with a huge television where one might expect an oven hood. This home is listed at $6.35 million.
