This summer, Wendy Williams and her now ex-husband Kevin Hunter parted company with the house they purchased together over a decade ago for $2.1 million.

The couple initially listed the property nearly precisely a year ago: they asked only $1.9 million for it, hoping for a speedy resolution. The $1.475 million sale price, against that $2.1 million purchased price, isn’t exactly painless, but on a scale of emotional relativity it most assuredly represents the lesser evil.

The 5,700 sq. ft. five-bedroom house boasts a portico entry; beyond it, the home’s interiors quickly develop as engineered dazzle, with a classically imposing black-and-white foyer with checkerboard tile, a luxuriously curving staircase, and a deusey of a chandelier hanging celestially in the not-so-near distance. Plank oak floors, a fieldstone fireplace, banks of windows, and—in the master suite—a bath that picks up the motif of the foyer are other standout details of this house.

The grounds feature classic East Coast estate landscaping, with a very controlled, groomed look, and a border of mature trees. A basketball half-court, a meditation pond, and sweeping lawns help establish this property’s well-defined identity as an aspiring aristocrat.
