At 60, the co-host of “TODAY” has exchanged her vibrant urban existence for the quaint charm of Bronxville, a delightful suburb nestled in Westchester County. This transition marks a pivotal moment in her life as she embraces the opportunity to dedicate more time to her daughters, Haley and Hope, ushering in a fresh chapter for the beloved journalist.
“I envision my home as a warm, inviting space where the kids feel at ease, a haven where they love to spend their time,” Hoda expressed during a recent episode of “TODAY with Hoda & Jenna,” reflecting on her significant lifestyle changes.
What better sanctuary for her daughters than a magnificent residence valued at nearly $2.9 million, conveniently located just a short train ride from Manhattan?
Kotb’s new suburban oasis—a stunning property exceeding 4,000 square feet, constructed in 1952—boasts four bedrooms, five bathrooms, and an enchanting charm that easily distracts from the hustle and bustle of the city skyline. Realtor.com first unveiled the details of this impressive abode.
The transaction was finalized in April, according to documents reviewed by The Post. The home has recently been revitalized by local artisans, showcasing a gourmet kitchen, soaring vaulted ceilings, and a sunlit family room, ideal for leisurely moments with her children.
The expansive primary bedroom, spanning an impressive 765 square feet, serves as a personal retreat. It features an ensuite spa-like bathroom adorned with Calcutta marble flooring equipped with radiant heat, a heated towel warmer, a skylight, and lofty ceilings, as highlighted in the previous listing.
However, this relocation transcends a mere increase in living space; it embodies Hoda’s desire to provide her daughters with the grounded, simple lifestyle she cherishes.
“It’s all new—new kids, new school, new everything,” Kotb remarked, contemplating this transformative change. “It’s amusing because my primary thought was to create a home that feels warm and cozy…and that’s all I wanted.”
The Bronxville residence includes a generous backyard, which Kotb has begun to utilize for family gatherings beneath the stars. This idyllic lot features a bluestone patio enveloped by vibrant gardens, providing ample space for her daughters to frolic and explore.
For Kotb, the proximity to quality schools, parks, and the inviting atmosphere of a small town makes this locale an ideal setting to raise her children.
While her representatives did not respond to inquiries for comment by press time, the transition to Bronxville may have surprised her vast fanbase. Nevertheless, Hoda has contemplated this move for some time. Earlier this year, she hinted at the change, expressing her readiness for a “fresh start.”
Her sentiments were as heartfelt as ever: “When I discovered this place—a charming town offering everything to instill independence in my children—I told them, ‘We’re repotting.’ They were like, ‘What? We’re moving?’ And I replied, ‘Yes, but we’re repotting.’”
As much as Hoda treasures her Manhattan apartment—the very site where she embarked on her journey into motherhood—this new residence signifies the future she envisions for her daughters.
“We’re embarking on a brand-new adventure,” she assured them, full of excitement for what lies ahead.
