Stefanik Seeks $2.19M for DC Home While Considering NY Governor Bid

Stefanik, upstate NY native, weighs 2026 governor run, no plans to buy another DC home.

R
ep. Elise Stefanik, who may run for New York governor in 2026, has listed her 1927 Capitol Hill townhouse for $2.19 million. The three‑bedroom, 2,700‑sq‑ft home—purchased in 2010 for about $1.2 million—features an open main floor, a large walk‑in closet in the primary suite, a fireplace, and a back deck/patio. The kitchen flows into the living and dining areas, a layout she chose for her love of cooking and family conversations. She has not yet decided whether to stay in Washington after the sale; she will make that choice once she confirms her gubernatorial plans and will not buy another DC property.

    Stefanik and her husband, Matthew Manda, spend most of their time upstate on a 16‑acre farm in Saratoga County, where their 4‑year‑old son Sam attends school. The listing, handled by Micah Smith and colleagues at TTR Sotheby’s International Realty, highlights the townhouse’s rare walk‑in closet for a Capitol Hill property. The median DC‑metro home sale in August was $625,000, up 2.1% from a year earlier. Known for challenging Ivy League presidents and briefly nominated by President Trump for UN ambassador, Stefanik plans to announce her gubernatorial bid after the November elections.
