Дом легендарного журналиста Джима Лехера выставлен на продажу в Вашингтоне за 5 миллионов долларов

Jim Lehrer is once again tied to breaking news—this time, however, the headlines center on his longtime Washington, D.C., home. Six years after the legendary broadcast journalist’s death at age 85, the charming, traditional-style residence in the historic Cleveland Park neighborhood has hit the market for the first time in over four decades. The cofounder and longtime anchor of PBS NewsHour and his wife Kate, a writer, novelist, and book reviewer, purchased the property in 1979 for $395,000. Upon his passing, Kate inherited the sprawling spread, eventually moving it into a family trust. With plans to downsize, the family has now listed the estate for $5 million with Michael Moore of Compass.

The roughly 6,700-square-foot interior spans four levels, showcasing five bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms, oak-plank floors, high ceilings, casement windows, detailed crown molding, and built-in cabinetry. A small porch with a forest green door opens to an entry foyer with mirrored closets. A wide central hallway connects the main living spaces, including a living room sporting a wood-burning fireplace framed in green marble and a formal dining room adorned with a pair of stained-glass windows. Beyond, the vintage kitchen features black-and-white checkered floors, a breakfast banquette, and a butler’s pantry, while a bookshelf-lined study sits alongside a sunroom.
