George Stephanopoulos buys in Hamptons

ABC’s George Stephanopoulos is moving from Washington D.C. to New York City and has purchased a $3.5 million, five-bedroom home in East Hampton to accompany the relocation. The newly-appointed “Good Morning America” host and former adviser to President Bill Clinton scored the 4,500-square-foot house from two local restaurateurs at 7 percent off the asking price. It sits on a one-acre lot and has three fireplaces, a pool, outdoor shower, and guest cottage. John Glicking of Sotheby’s International Realty represented Stephanopoulos and his wife, actress Alexandra Wentworth, in the sale. Lori Barbaria of Prudential Douglas Elliman had the listing.
