FULL TITLE: Katie Couric shows off the lavish Hamptons house where she will go to relax when she becomes talk show host
After this week announcing plans to become a daytime talk show host, Katie Couric has opened the doors of the home where she will be going to relax at the weekends.
The 54-year-old, who on Monday was revealed as ABC’s replacement for Oprah, showed off her seven bedroom country retreat in the Hamptons.
‘I decided that I’m really a beach person and would go to a house in the Hamptons much more often, especially since I have lots of great friends there,’ said Miss Couric who already owned a country house in Millbrook New York.
‘I wanted something casual and relaxed—something without a lot of trees. I didn’t want to be deep in the woods,’ she told Hamptons Cottages and Gardens magazine in an article by Andrea Hope Smith.
The former Today Show host paid $6.3 million for the two-storey home in East Hampton, New York.
She said she fell in love with it immediately. ‘The rooms were spacious and had lots of sun, and as soon as I walked in I could picture my family being there,’ she said.
‘Its proximity to town was convenient for my daughters, and it was close enough to the ocean, on a pretty street that wasn’t very busy. It met all the requirements.’ ‘I love doing all the typical things in the Hamptons, like making dinner with friends,’ she added. ‘The minute I walk in the door here, I’m able to exhale in a way that I can never quite do in the city.”
During the week, Katie Couric and her two daughters, Ellie and Carrie, live in an apartment worth a reported $3.2 million on Manhattan's Park Avenue.

Too much Katie in the news (or what poses as news).
Ah yes, how accomodating of her.
Letting the little people get a sniff of her digs to show us all how superior she is to us.
That’s lavish?
I’ve been in much better.
Golly, Gee. If she can afford it, more power to her. I’m happy for her.
She probably agrees with Thomas Friedman that the rest of us should just be satisfied with a life of less material success.
Katie is a legend in her own mind.
She’ll rail against the “greedy rich” yet shove this vanity into the faces of the great unwashed. Typical liberal.
I wonder what my reward from my boss would be if I lost half our business?
Never underestimate the arrogance of elevated trash, and Kouric is elevated trash.
It was so true and so awesome. She is treated like a princess and now she can live like one in her Hamptons estate similar to the ones owned by Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity.
God this woman stinks to high heaven.
Great, just lock the gates around this pen to keep her in and off the air for the rest of my life. ;-)
If you do, and if he does, tell him you want the same as Katie...lol.
Katie is a little light in the butt and light in the loafers to play the part of Oprah.
Not to mention light in the head.
Does anyone remember is Katie had anything to say about Rush Limbaugh when he sold his NY place for millions???
One of the comments under the article says “she has one big carbon footprint”. I thought that was HYSTERICAL!
Just like the way Arianna Huffington and her HuffPo is dragging down A(rianna)OL!
Seems to me she had something to say about it.
But I remember Wolf Blitzer being the giddily giggling schoolgirl over the whole fabrication.
I predict that Katie’s “talk show” will have lower ratings than her “news show” and she will quickly exit the airwaves.
We’ve had about all of this leftist cheerleader that we can stand and she can plan on taking her perky little butt to her overpriced mansion and sit on the porch rocking the remainder of her life away in obscurity.
