Joy Behar | Inside The View Host's $14 Million New York Real Estate | House Tour 2024

With a career on the talk show, The View, making her one of the longest running hosts on the series, of course, Joy Behar has quite the paycheck to match that milestone. Joy's $14 million real estate portfolio also aligns with her success, and the famous co-host has an eye for selecting the perfect locations and decor for her properties. Joy's main residence is in Sag Harbor, nestled between New York's East Hampton and Bridgehampton, a home she purchased for $4.75 million. With 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and features like a chef's kitchen and great room, it's very easy to see why Joy cherishes her home. She shares this charming 4,500 square foot property with her husband Steve Janowitz. Joy has once said about her home, this house is over 100 years old. I'm almost as old as this house, but it's a beautiful house, it has bones and it has history. Joy also owns a sleek 2 bedroom condo in the Upper West Side of Manhattan that she bought back in 2017, close to where she works on The View. Joy Behar admits she's a bit of a house hopper when it comes to real estate, driven by her instinct to buy properties she falls in love with. The Emmy award winning co-host of The View has enjoyed long lasting relationships in her personal and professional life with over 25 years on the show and 40 years with her husband Steve Janowitz. However, her journey with homes in the Hamptons in Manhattan has been less permanent as she's moved 8 times. Her first experience in the Hamptons dates back to the 1960s with a college sorority rental and after trying out various rentals with Steve in the 90s, Joy eventually purchased her first home in Sagaponeck in 1998. Since then she upgraded to a more spacious house in East Hampton and currently resides in a 100 year old historic home. Joy's home is full of unique art and period pieces, many of which she discovered at local estate sales. Her space is also a reflection of her vibrant personality with personal touches like a photo of her and The View co-creator Barbara Walters and art from her daughter Eve. Joy's love for the Hamptons is clear and she has no plans to leave her current home. Owning a property has always been Joy's biggest dream which became possible thanks to her successful comedy and hosting career. Joy said, My whole life was about getting the best house I could afford so I found this one. I love it and I don't ever want to leave this house. It feels real. I feel like a real resident of the Hamptons. In 2016, Joy put her huge paycheck from The View to good use, purchasing her current main residence in Sag Harbor, an area located between New York's East Hampton and Bridge Hampton. The home cost her $4.75 million and it spans 4,500 square feet of space with four beds and 3.5 bathrooms. Located just steps from the village in Haven Beaches, the traditional style residence includes the main house, a separate cottage and a gunnite pool. Joy shares the home with her husband Steve, who she married in 2011. The New York native and retired teacher were together for 29 years before they finally tied the knot. Today, they share two beautiful homes and enjoy time with their adorable dog, Bernie. Joy even has an Instagram dedicated to her beloved pup featuring photos taken around her homes. Interestingly enough, her property wasn't even on the market when she first set eyes on it. After touring the neighboring house, Joy fell in love with this home and asked her broker to ask about it. Joy was thrilled when the deal was struck for her to buy the house as is. She has since filled it with beautiful antiques, yard sale treasures and vintage finds. Inside Joy's Hamptons mansion, you'll find a chef's kitchen with a fireplace and walk-in pantry, a formal dining room with a fireplace and a spacious living room, also with its own fireplace. The first floor also includes a den, a powder room and a home office. The second floor can be accessed via two grand staircases, leading to an en-suite master bedroom with a fireplace and an additional en-suite guest room. Joy's home is spacious and inviting with a large living room full of cozy seating, and her favorite spot inside is apparently her red couch, where she loves to sit and read. The exterior of the home is more traditional in its architecture, while the interior was recently renovated before Joy's purchase to offer modern, light-filled spaces. The property also includes a separate charming guest cottage complete with a full kitchen, bathroom, living room with fireplace, bonus room and loft. The stunning manicured lawns and large heated pool create quite the impressive retreat for Joy and her family, while the grounds are also surrounded by beautiful gardens. Today, Joy's Hamptons home is valued at approximately $7.13 million. When Joy wants a convenient commute to the View Studio, she stays at her stunning $2.74 million Upper West Side apartment in Manhattan. One of its standout features is the breathtaking view of Central Park. In 2017, Joy bought the two-bedroom, three-bathroom residence after formerly owning an apartment on West 89th Street, further from where she worked on the View. Her current condo is just a few blocks from the View's West 66th Street location. The 1,315-square-foot condo, which can be converted into a three-bedroom unit, boasts a spacious balcony with Central Park views. Located near Lincoln Center and Columbus Circle, the property came newly painted with refinished flooring as was noted in the previous listing. Described as rarely available, the condo includes an L-shaped corner living room, a den, home office, windowed kitchen and in-unit washer-dryer. Today, it's valued at about $2.74 million. As a New York native, Joy has shared some of her favorite spots around the city, such as shopping at Saks Fifth Avenue. In a 2010 interview, she shared, The perfume people on the first floor are fun. You're never alone. Even if you're feeling lonely, you can walk into Saks, and there's always someone spritzing a perfume at you. It's fabulous. For today, that'll wrap up our look into the homes of Joy Bihar, including her stunning main residence in the Hamptons. Thanks for watching!
