Andrea Mitchell’s $2.7 Million Home

Legendary MSNBC Host Andrea Mitchell Ends Her Show After 16 Years To Spend More Time in DC—Where She Lives in Charming $2.7 Million Home.

Longtime MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell is set to walk away from her popular daytime show for good, after close to 17 years in the anchor seat, to spend more time reporting in and around her hometown of Washington, DC.

The 78-year-old, who launched her show, “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” in 2008, announced her plans to step down as a host shortly before the 2024 presidential election.

She wanted “time to do more of what I love the most: connecting, listening, and reporting in the field,” she said at the time.

Mitchell, who will continue in her roles as NBC News’ chief foreign affairs correspondent and chief Washington correspondent, added that she wished to focus her energies on following the new president as they navigated “two foreign wars and the political divisions here at home.”

“After 16 years of being in the anchor chair every day, I want time to do more of what I love the most: connecting, listening, and reporting in the field, especially as whoever is elected next week is going to undertake the monumental task of handling two foreign wars and the political divisions here at home,” she told viewers of her show, which is the longest-running program on MSNBC.

The seasoned reporter has long been one of DC’s most respected reporters, having started her career with NBC in 1978. She slowly worked her way up the ranks at the network—having moved to the city in 1976, when she worked for a local affiliate.

Having become a prominent face in political circles, Mitchell wed another DC titan, Alan Greenspan, 98, an economist who served as the 13th chairman of the Federal Reserve for close to 20 years.

Greenspan retired in 2006 and has since been spending much more time at the couple’s $2.7 million home in a charming (and very exclusive) DC enclave.

Built in the 1800s, the property is located in the tony area of Kent, on one of the neighborhood’s “most prestigious streets.”

Mitchell and Greenspan own a charming historic home in DC, where they have lived for many years now.

The area, with “majestic”-feeling homes, is bordered by Battery Kemble Park, yet is close to commercial amenities on MacArthur Boulevard.

Mitchell clearly feels protective of her neighborhood, making headlines in 2022 when she waded into a local controversy over street closures in the area.

Along with several of her fellow residents, Mitchell went to war with local authorities in an attempt to have their street closed to through traffic, insisting that speeding commuters were using it as a cut-through, increasing the risk to those who lived there.

She also argued against the addition of new sidewalks, warning that the plans would damage the historical architecture in the area.

“The only way that the street could be widened to accommodate a sidewalk would be from our homes,” Mitchell said, according to the Washington City Paper.

“These are homes that were originally built during the Civil War. Mine was built in 1865, as was my next-door neighbor’s, as farm houses by freed slaves.

“This is an historic community, an African-American community going back to the 1860s. It’s a very special place, and it’s the unique character of our road that makes it very, very difficult to accommodate, if not impossible to accommodate a sidewalk without taking down houses.”

The couple’s longtime home, which features four bedrooms and four bathrooms in 2,450 square feet of space, is worth well north of $2.7 million, according to a Realtor.com® estimate.
