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

Filed under: Estates

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.
