Doocy, 68, who had appeared as a co-host on the program since its inception in 1998, revealed in early May that he would be ending his decades-long run as a full-time star, after growing increasingly frustrated with his 3:30 a.m. commute from his Wyckoff abode to the network’s Manhattan studio.

Although he didn’t initially reveal whether he would retain his New Jersey abode, which he snapped up in 1994 for $585,000, Realtor.com® exclusively revealed that he listed the property on June 19—confirming that he was ready to fully commit to life down South.

Now, just one week later, property records reveal that the talk show tycoon’s dwelling is under contract. Although the home was listed for $1.75 million, it is unclear whether the offer met his full asking price—or whether he managed to secure a buyer willing to pay even more for the traditional home.

However, its pending sale marks the end of an era for Doocy, who raised all three of his children (his son, Peter Doocy, is a Fox News correspondent) in the dwelling, which is also where he lived for much of his “Fox & Friends” career.

His career underwent a major change on May 1, when Doocy announced his relocation. He explained to viewers that his big move did not mean he was “retiring,” but rather taking on a new part-time position that would see him hosting from farther afield.

“After decades of getting up at 3:30 and driving into New York City in the dark, today is the last day I will host the show … from the couch. I am not retiring; I’m not leaving the show. I’m still a host—but it’s time for a change,” he said.

After years of living in New Jersey, he and his wife, Kathy, were planning to move to the Sunshine State, he said. They own a home in Jupiter, which is also home to several members of the Trump family, including Don Jr. and his ex-wife, Vanessa Trump, and Eric and Lara Trump.

Indeed, Doocy noted that his move to Florida would give him plenty of opportunity to cover new topics.

“I’ll be going from the Carolinas to the Keys. From Middle America to Mar-a-Lago. Call me the coast-to-coast host,” he said.

The property, which was put on the market on June 19, is described as a “classic Sicomac beauty on over an acre,” offering four bedrooms and three bathrooms, as well as a stunning backyard with ample space for kids to run around and play.

The kitchen was last renovated in 2010, and the dwelling has undergone some more recent upgrades, including an overhaul of the primary bath in 2021.

Images shared in the listing reveal a glimpse into the Doocy family’s life in the property, with two of the bedrooms still decorated as they were when the TV host’s daughters, Mary and Sally, were still living there, complete with large initial art over each of their beds.

The primary bathroom features a number of framed photos of the Doocy children, while other art in the dwelling includes a number of Americana designs, from a portrait of Abraham Lincoln to a painting of the Statue of Liberty.

Inside, the home features a wide open living room as well as a two-story great room with a fireplace. The “partially finished” basement could well serve as a future entertaining space.

Outside, there is a large deck that overlooks the lush lawn.

“Enjoy all this classic home has to offer with the gleaming hardwood floors and large rooms. … Don’t miss this classic, updated, turn-key home! Come see!” the listing urges.

While walking away from the home where he raised his three children was undoubtedly a difficult decision, Doocy appears to be relishing his new life in Florida, where he has already interviewed Lara Trump at a golf event in West Palm Beach, before grabbing coffee with Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy in Miami.

He has also found time to travel to several other locations, including Nashville, TN, where he chatted with Kid Rock, and Michigan, where he jammed with Ted Nugent.

The TV host, whose interviews are being aired as part of his new “Morning Walk” segments, also managed to squeeze in a visit to his son. Peter and his wife, Hillary, welcomed their second child in April, in Washington, DC. It’s where the family attended a Nationals game together.

“The Doocys of DC teamed up with Grandpa Steve at Nationals Park this morning on ‘Fox & Friends’ for a preview of tonight’s Congressional Baseball game,” he wrote on Instagram, while sharing a picture of himself posing with Peter, Hillary, and their two kids.

“After this—grandpa is buying brunch. I’ll expense it—they all appeared on ‘Fox & Friends’ and it seems like a quasi-legit business deduction, right?”

When he announced his departure from his full-time role, Doocy noted that he was hoping to spend more time with his family, admitting that his hosting duties had often forced him to miss out on bonding moments with his kids when they were growing up.Instagram/Steve Doocy

Doocy also revealed that AI had informed him that his alarm had gone off before dawn a total of 6,828 times, joking that he’s reached his limit as far as early-morning wakeups are concerned.Instagram/Steve Doocy

When he announced his departure from his full-time role, Doocy noted that he was hoping to spend more time with his family, admitting that his hosting duties had often forced him to miss out on bonding moments with his kids when they were growing up.

“When my kids were growing up, I never had breakfast with them. I was here. Kathy did everything, but starting tomorrow, I’m going to have breakfast with my grandkids and my children whenever I can,” he explained.

Doocy also revealed that AI had informed him that his alarm has gone off before dawn a total of 6,828 times, joking that he’s reached his limit as far as early-morning wakeups are concerned.

“That, ladies and gentlemen, is a lot of donuts. It’s a great job … but the hours suck,” he added.

As for his home base in Florida, records indicate that he and his wife own a three-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom Jupiter dwelling that was last sold in 2014 for $1 million—having been on the market for just one month.
