Fox & Friends Co-Host Alisyn Camerota Sells UWS Pad for a Loss

From the UWS to Westport.

There comes a time in many TV personality's lives when the hustle and bustle of the city ceases to charm and Connecticut's countryside beckons.

Fox & Friends' weekend co-host Alisyn Camerota and husband Timothy Lewis are the latest to heed the siren call of the upscale suburbs, trading in their two-bedroom, two-bathroom co-op on the Upper West Side for a massive, shingle-style abode in Westport, Conn.

Ms. Camerota has more than one thing in common with another photogenic host who recently abandoned her UWS apartment for a Greenwich manse: she is also selling at a loss. City records show that Ms. Camerota and husband let their brownstone co-op at 128 West 78th Street go for a mere $1.65 million after paying $1.79 million for it back in 2007.

Ms. Camerota, who has three children, may just have been desperate for some more space to spread out. Even if it meant abandoning a spot close to the Natural History Museum—one of the family's favorite haunts.

Their new home, or at least the address listed on the deed, has six bedrooms, porches, soaring ceilings and a pool. It was recently purchased for $3 million.

The buyers of Ms. Camerota's old co-op, John and Katie Goulah, will enjoy a spread that extends from the garden level to the first floor and features a living room/dining room with atrium glass, built-ins in the master bedroom and a sunny, South-facing garden.

"You’ll have it all!" exclaims the listing, held by Prudential Douglas Elliman brokers Ann Cutbill Lenane and Deirdre DeRisi. Just not as much as you could have for that much money in the wealthy enclaves of the Constitution State.

SNL real estate palooza!

If Manhattan real estate transfers are any barometer for Big Apple success, graduates of the Lorne Michaels school of comedy are certainly having the last laugh. Last week The Observer reported that Jimmy Fallon and wife, Nancy Juvonen, purchased a third apartment at fancy 34 Gramercy Park East; and now public records report that Mr. Fallon's Weekend Update cohort and current 30 Rock superstar, Tina Fey, has sold her 500 West End Avenue abode for $2.15 million to lawyer Jack E. Pace III and wife, Colleen Ann Tully. The "classic six room home with tons of pristine original detail" was listed by Douglas Elliman's Ann Cutbill Lenane and Deirdre DeRisi. Ms. Fey and 30 Rock composer hubby, Jeff Richmond, purchased the two-bedroom in 2004 for $1.9 million. With an over $200,000 profit it looks like Ms. Fey turned Liz Lemons into lemonade.

In April 2009, Ms. Fey and Mr. Richmond upgraded apartments with a $3.4 million purchase several blocks south in the same Upper West Side neighborhood. The couple's new apartment boasts four master bedrooms, a 27.5-foot-long living room with a wood-burning fireplace and a view of the river. The Wall Street Journal recently reported the $550,000 sale of a 641-square-foot studio apartment, also on the Upper West Side, which Ms. Fey owned and apparently used as an office space. Is Liz Lemon real estate purging? And if so, we hope she consulted her mentor, Jack Donaughey.
