“It’s Time For Regis!” hangs on the
game room wall. These items are not
included in the sale.
In a statement, Ms. Philbin said she
and her husband are selling because
they plan to spend more time with
family in California. “We’ve moved
around a lot and lived in many houses
together but this house will always be
our favorite,” she said. “We cele-
brated many birthdays and holidays
and never had to worry about inviting
too many of our family and friends.
There was always room for everyone.”
Now retired, Mr. Philbin, 88, was the
onetime host of “Live! With Regis and
Kathie Lee,” which later became “Live!
With Regis and Kelly.” He also hosted
shows like “Who Wants to Be a Mil-
lionaire” and “America’s Got Talent.”

A ‘Billionaires’ Row’ condo in New
York sells for $61 million.M12

best-known estates once owned by
hotel heiress Leona Helmsley, for
$16.5 million, down from its original
nearly $50 million asking price.

City and near the Stanwich Club, a
golf course, and Lionshare
Farm, an equestrian prop-
erty, the Philbins’ home sits
on 2.59 acres with a tennis
court, a big circular drive-
way, a pool and a guest
house. The six-bedroom main
home has a two-story foyer
with a curving staircase, a
double-height family room
with dramatic arched win-
dows and a “pub room” with a
wooden bar and beamed ceilings.
Mr. Philbin’s touch is evident in a
wood-paneled study, which has a
chair upholstered in the colors and
logo of the University of Notre Dame,
where Mr. Philbin is an alumnus. An

Longtime television host Regis
Philbin and his wife Joy Philbin are
listing their Greenwich, Conn., home
for $4.595 million, or 36% less than
they paid for the English Manor-in-
spired property about a decade ago.
They are the latest victims
of a brutal Greenwich mar-
ket. Long associated with
prestige, the area has strug-
gled as wealthy New Yorkers
increasingly choose to live in
the city, while others decamp
to Florida for more favorable
tax rates. Some of the bank-
ing executives who fueled
the Greenwich market with
their annual bonuses have seen their
compensation cut.
The Philbins have “acclimated to
the market, as disappointing as it is,”
said their listing agent Joseph Bar-
bieri of Sotheby’s International Re-
alty, noting that he is also marketing
