The Jeanine Pirro house story starts with a correction. The Westchester County manor that made headlines was a real, documented property: a custom-built, European-style home in Rye, New York, that Pirro listed for sale several times over nearly two decades. It was never open for the room-by-room tour older versions of this article invented.
What follows sticks to the published record. The size, room count, build cost and asking prices below come from listing coverage by Realtor.com, a 2015 market report in Cottages & Gardens, and Celebrity Net Worth. Every asking price is labelled as an asking price, because an asking price is not a sale price and not a current value.
Who Is Jeanine Pirro?
Jeanine Ferris Pirro was born on June 2, 1951, in Elmira, New York, to Lebanese-American parents. According to Celebrity Net Worth, she interned at the Chemung County District Attorney’s office while still at Notre Dame High School, and earned her law degree from Albany Law School in 1975.
That same year she became an Assistant District Attorney in Westchester County. The U.S. Department of Justice notes that she started the first domestic violence unit in a prosecutor’s office in the nation, became the first female judge elected to the Westchester County Court, and was then the first woman elected Westchester County District Attorney, serving three consecutive terms from 1994 to 2005.
Television came next. She hosted Judge Jeanine Pirro on The CW from 2008 to 2011, then launched Justice with Judge Jeanine on Fox News in January 2011, later co-hosting The Five. In May 2025 she left television as Interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, and the Justice Department confirms her Senate confirmation in August 2025.

Jeanine Pirro house: The Documented Numbers
The documented facts are narrower than the old article suggested, but solid. The house was built new in 1988 for Jeanine Pirro and her then husband Albert Pirro, in Rye, Westchester County, in what Cottages & Gardens calls the prestigious Flagler Matthews estate area.
| Detail | Documented figure |
|---|---|
| Location area | Rye, Westchester County, New York |
| Built | 1988, built for Jeanine and Albert Pirro |
| Reported build cost | $425,000 (Celebrity Net Worth) |
| Living space | 7,882 square feet |
| Rooms | 5 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, 12 rooms in total |
| Lot | Gated, about 1.5 acres |
| Style | European-style / Italianate manor |
Those numbers come from listing-era reporting, not a fresh inspection. Treat the build cost as reported rather than audited. No reliable source published a floor plan, and none is reconstructed here.
Built in 1988 as a Family Home
Cottages & Gardens reported that Pirro and Albert built the 12-room home in 1988, adding a dramatic brick loggia and marble floors. Pirro herself described it to the magazine in straightforward terms: “It has been a happy home, a family home.” She also pointed to the gated lot’s security system as a selling point.
That is the honest frame for the Jeanine Pirro house of this period: a large family home built at the start of her rise in Westchester politics, not a showpiece assembled for television. She told the magazine she no longer needed parties for 200 or dinners for 30, her stated reason for selling in 2015.
What the Listing Actually Described
Listing coverage described a small number of specific features, and only those are repeated here. Realtor.com, quoting listing agent Michele Flood of Coldwell Banker, highlighted a kitchen with blue granite from Bahia, Brazil, described as rarely imported into the United States.

Outside, Realtor.com described a brick veranda along one side of the home and a landscaped backyard with what Flood called a whimsical cigar hut. Flood said the yard could host “incredible grand functions,” including weddings Pirro herself officiated. No listing tour supports claims about wine cellars, cinemas or spa suites, so none appear here.

The Long Road on the Market
The clearest documented chapter of the Jeanine Pirro house is its price history, because each step was an asking price printed at the time. According to Celebrity Net Worth, she listed the home for $5.2 million ASKING in 2000, $4.295 million ASKING in 2007, and $4.995 million ASKING in 2015.
The 2015 listing is the best reported of the series. Cottages & Gardens confirmed the $4.995 million asking price with Michele Flood of Coldwell Banker in October 2015, and Realtor.com covered the same listing. Even so, that was what she asked, not what anyone paid.
By 2017 the asking price had fallen to $3.8 million, and in August 2018 it dropped to $3.4 million, still as an asking price in Celebrity Net Worth’s account. Some later summaries describe a sale around that level in August 2018, but no primary sale record was opened for this update, so that outcome is reported, not confirmed.
A Hard Chapter in the Background
No honest history can skip the case that shadowed the home’s early years. Celebrity Net Worth records that Albert Pirro was indicted in 1999 for hiding more than $1 million of personal income as business expenses between 1988 and 1997, convicted in June 2000 on 23 counts, and sentenced to 29 months in federal prison. He was pardoned in January 2021.
Jeanine and Albert separated in 2007 and their divorce was finalised in 2013, also per Celebrity Net Worth. Those facts are part of the documented public record around the household that built the home, and they are stated briefly for that reason alone.

The Florida Footnote
Secondary wealth profiles add one smaller property note. Finty, summarising earlier reporting, says Pirro bought a four-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom vacation home in a gated golf-course community in Palm Beach, Florida, in 1995 for $315,000, and that Dirt reported three undeveloped parcels south of Sarasota in Port Charlotte, Florida.
Those details rest on thinner sourcing than the Westchester listing record, so they are kept short and attributed. No current status or value for any Florida property is documented in the sources fetched, and none is invented here.
Where Does She Live Now?
That question has an honest, short answer: no reliable source fetched for this update confirms a current home for her in 2026. Her confirmed base since May 2025 is her job in Washington, DC, as United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, confirmed by the Senate in August 2025.
It would be easy to fill that gap with a confident claim about the Jeanine Pirro house today, and many sites do exactly that. This article does not. The manor belongs to the documented listing record of 1988 to 2018. Anything beyond it is not published here because it is not verified.
Design Ideas the Record Actually Supports
If you like the style, the documented features translate into ideas for an ordinary home. A brick detail, such as a loggia-style porch or veranda wall, gives a traditional house its Westchester character without a rebuild. Marble, or marble-look tile, works best in one contained place, such as an entry floor.
The blue Bahia granite points to a simpler lesson: one strong natural material, used once, carries a kitchen further than a long list of finishes. A deep blue worktop or splashback against plain cabinetry borrows the documented idea without copying a house you have never seen inside.
Frequently Asked Questions
How big was the Westchester house?
Listing reporting put it at 7,882 square feet, with five bedrooms, seven bathrooms and 12 rooms in total, on a gated lot of about 1.5 acres in Rye, New York.
What was the highest asking price?
The highest documented figure was $5.2 million ASKING in 2000, per Celebrity Net Worth. The best-reported later listing asked $4.995 million in 2015. Both were asking prices, not sale prices.
What is Jeanine Pirro’s net worth?
Celebrity Net Worth estimates her net worth at $14 million and put her Fox News salary at $3 million per year. Both figures are that site’s estimates, drawn from public sources, not audited accounts.
The Jeanine Pirro house, on the record, is a 7,882-square-foot Rye manor built in 1988, listed at asking prices from $5.2 million down to $3.4 million, and defined by a handful of real details: marble floors, a brick loggia and veranda, and blue Bahia granite. That documented story is interesting enough without an invented tour.
