David Muir’s Upstate Retreat
ABC anchor david muir and host of World News Tonight maintains a quieter life upstate when he’s not on air. He divides his time between a New York City apartment and a historic lakeside house in Skaneateles, a picturesque town in New York’s Finger Lakes region.
Classic house with modern comforts
The home, purchased in 2019 for $7 million, was built in 1890 and measures roughly 4,300 square feet. From the outside it shows classic architecture — a white facade, black shutters and a pillared entrance — while inside the property offers six bedrooms, two kitchens, three bathrooms and at least one fireplace. The grounds include a pool and lakeside access, blending period charm with modern amenities.
Why Skaneateles?
Skaneateles is known for its clear blue lake, a compact downtown of shops and restaurants, and an upscale, private atmosphere that draws high-profile residents and visitors. Muir has described the area as a place to “catch my breath,” telling Kelly Ripa the job takes him around the world but that the lakeside property provides much-needed calm.
Celebrity neighbors and visitors
The Finger Lakes and neighboring regions have long been popular with celebrities and wealthy buyers. Former baseball star Derek Jeter previously owned a large property nearby. Scrap metal magnate Adam Weitsman owns multiple homes in the area, and public figures such as Alec Baldwin and Justin and Hailey Bieber have been known to visit the town. Actors Paul Rudd and Jeffrey Dean Morgan live in the broader Hudson Valley region, which also attracts well-known residents.
A regional connection
David muir is a native of upstate New York. He grew up in Syracuse, where he first visited newsrooms with his father and later became an intern at age 14. After graduating from Ithaca College, Muir made his reporting debut at WTVH-TV — a start that came nine years before he joined ABC News full-time.
Work and routine
Muir anchors ABC World News Tonight every weekday at 6:30 p.m. EST and co-hosts 20/20 with Deborah Roberts on Friday nights at 9 p.m. EST. The Skaneateles home gives him a private retreat between national assignments and helps explain why he keeps ties to both New York City and upstate New York.
