TV Host Regis Philbin Lists His Stately Connecticut Home for $4.6M
Regis Philbin, the former host of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and co-host of Live with Regis and Kelly, is breaking ties with his six-bedroom estate in Greenwich, Connecticut. After residing in the 13,661-square-foot property for over a decade, Regis, 88, and his wife, Joy, are selling the property and relocating to Beverly Hills to be closer to family.
A gated drive leads to the circular court of the manor-like estate, which has been the home of Regis Philbin and his wife, Joy, for over a decade. The couple reportedly purchased the property for more than its current asking price of $4,595,000.
Inspired by an English manor, the home was built in 1997 and sits on a secluded, 2.59-acre lot just 40 minutes from Manhattan. Upon entry, a two-story foyer leads to expansive living areas and themed spaces, including a mahogany library, billiard room, home theater, gym, wine cellar, as well as a "pub room" with a full bar.
In the two-story foyer, marble lines the floors while a crystal chandelier daintily hangs above.
Other notable features of the dwelling include a chef’s kitchen with marble counters, a double-height family room, six bedrooms, and nine full baths. Outside, spacious covered terraces hold an inviting pool and spa, which is steps away from a tennis court. A garden walkway leads to a chic, one-bedroom guest house with a full kitchen and bath.

Boasting custom built-ins and a plush red sofa, the mahogany library, which doubled as Regis’s home office, also offers one of the home’s seven fireplaces.
Arched windows and French doors span a south-facing wall in the family room. The large space looks out onto a patio and the pool below.
Along with top-of-the-line appliances, the updated kitchen also features two large central islands. An adjoining formal dining area provides additional access to the patio.
Drenched in natural light, the sunroom frames picturesque views of the surrounding gardens.
An up-close look at the English-inspired "pub room," complete with a fully stocked custom bar and collected memorabilia. More French doors provide access to the backyard.
Classic movie posters line walls in the home theater.
A large terrace wraps around the glistening pool, spa, and fountain, all while offering plenty of space for lounging. The tennis court is just steps away.
A rear view of the home, with its expansive green lawn and countless mature trees.
56 N. Stanwich Road in Greenwich, CT, is currently listed for $4,595,000 by Joseph Barbieri of Sotheby's International Realty - Greenwich Brokerage.
