Tom Brokaw’s Pound Ridge estate cuts its ask after a year on the market

Newscaster Tom Brokaw’s Pound Ridge home has taken a significant price chop, the New York Post reported, via Realtor.com. The veteran NBC News journalist and his wife, Meredith Auld, put their 56-acre estate on the market for $6.3 million last summer. The couple had previously sold a Park Avenue duplex for $10 million in 2011. Now, they’ve reduced the ask for their home at 43 South Bedford Road to $4.25 million — the same price they bought the property for back in 1998. The estate includes a five-bedroom main house, a private lake, a swimming pool and a guest house, according to the Post, which noted that the property is located about an hour north of Manhattan. “In addition, two approved building lots with lake frontage are available at 10 acres each, should the buyer want to create a family compound,” the outlet reported. Angela Kessel of Houlihan Lawrence, one of Westchester County’s top residential brokers, now has the listing, which last year was held as a co-exclusive by Ginnel Real Estate’s Muffin Dowdle and Kathleen Sloane of Brown Harris Stevens.
