Bret Baier is selling his luxury Washington, D.C. estate for $32 million

Fox News Channel political anchor Bret Baier has decided to put his Washington, D.C. home up for sale after moving into a new $37 million mansion in the upscale Palm Beach neighborhood of Florida.

Bayer's home was built in Washington, D.C.'s upper northwest neighborhood and was purchased by him and his wife Amy more than five years ago for $32.5 million. They spent about three years and $25 million to completely renovate the building with the cooperation of developer Michael Banks and architect David Jones.

If the house sells for close to the asking price, it will set a record for the city, surpassing the sale of the circa 1810 mansion, which sold for $24.5 million in 2007.

The limestone-clad mansion has a courtyard with a central fountain.

The mansion's grounds offer a variety of spaces perfect for outdoor recreation, including a swimming pool, golf course and lounging areas. The home also has a 72-kilowatt generator and geothermal wells that provide cooling.

Bayer, whose fortune is estimated at $72 million, also owns a second home in Palm Beach, for which he paid $12 million to fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger in 2022.
