This year, on September, Hoda Kotb announced her leave from “Today.”
“I realized that it was time for me to turn the page at 60, and to try something new,” Kotb shared on the 26th of September. “I feel like we only have a finite amount of time,” Kotb talked about how she wants to spend time with her children.
Kotb wants to spend more time with her daughters, Haley, 7, and Hope, 5. Her daughters are the main reason why Kotb moved in to the suburbs.
“Obviously, I had my kiddos late in life, and I was thinking they deserve a bigger piece of my time,” Kotb said.
Before she left “Today,” Kotb already put her plan to move into action. She left Manhattan to live peacefully in the suburbs. “I found this spot that I liked, a little town that had all the things that could teach my kids independence,” the TV anchor shared.
“I want my house for the kids to feel warm and cozy and a place where they want to hang,” Kotb revealed, as she described her intention to move as “repotting.”
Her daughters were confused with their mother’s decision as they asked, “They’re like, ‘What? We’re moving?'” Kotb laughed.
Kotb found her loving home in the suburbs of Bronxville, New York, which she bought the house for $2.89 million. The house is just 30 minutes away from Midtown Manhattan.
It was built in 1952, and the house has four bedrooms and five bathrooms. The house is pretty big for the family of three, Kotb, Haley and Hope. Kotb worked with EC Builders for renovating the lovely house.
In the main level, there is a chef’s kitchen, a dining room, family room with vaulted ceiling and custom built-ins.
The bedroom suite is 764 square feet, and has custom closets, cabinetry and a big bathroom with marble floors and double sinks.
Kotb is describing her new house as a “warm and cozy” place, where she wants her daughters to feel at home. Haley and Hope has their own rooms, and spaces in the house.
“It’s like you want to hold onto things, and you want to let go,” Kotb said about leaving their old house in Manhattan.
