FOX's Greta Van Susteren Cuts $900K From Sales Price of Annapolis Home

ANNAPOLIS, MD — The fame of an historic Annapolis house’s owner – the two-century-old brick home of FOX News analyst Greta Van Susteren – didn’t translate into a hefty sales price.

In fact, when Van Susteren and husband John Coale closed the sale in March, they sold the house for $1.05 million. That’s quite a drop from their original asking price of $1.95 million when the home at 179 Duke of Gloucester St. was listed in July 2014.

The couple purchased the house for $1.76 million in March 2010, according to the real estate website Zillow.

“It was significantly undersold for the market,” a Coldwell Banker agent told The Washington Post, calling that unusual because most historic homes in the area sell close to the listing price.

The downtown Annapolis address was built in 1776, and has been updated over the years. Zillow says the house has five bedrooms, four bathrooms and 3,999 square feet.

Here’s how the listing agent described the home:

“REDUCED!!!!!One of the finest homes in historic Annapolis. Gorgeous rooms w/ architectural details include crown molding, chair rails, exquisite mantels and 9 over 6 sash windows. Entertain inside or in the private courtyard. Working fireplace in master and living room. Two car garage + 2 spaces in driveway with gate.
