Former Fox News host Greta Van Susteren, who bailed on the network in the wake of the acrimonious departure of network boss Roger Ailes, is selling her penthouse in Manhattan for $3.2 million.

The Broadway loft on 48th Street between Times Square and Rockefeller Center sits on the 24th floor and has unobstructed views of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the New Year’s Eve ball drop, and the general daily drama of Times Square, according to the listing.

The cozy 1,582-square-foot penthouse features two bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 9.5-foot ceilings, and hardwood floors. Soundproof windows and motorized blackout shades shield residents from the 24/7 lights and sounds emanating from Times Square.

The unit boasts south and east exposures for daylong light, large entry foyer, living room with dining area, and open kitchen with island/breakfast bar.

Property records show the penthouse was purchased a decade ago for the very precise price of $2,571,081, which means it hasn’t appreciated all that much over the years. And Van Susteren isn’t alone in attempting to offload a luxe spot in the building—there are three other penthouses for sale for $3.7 million, $3.35 million, and $3.2 million. Bargain hunters should note that there’s also a sixth-floor unit in the building currently listed for $1.3 million.

The TV news host seems to be in a selling mood these days. In May, she unloaded her historic Annapolis, MD, home for a cool mil, which was almost $1 million less than her original asking price. Here’s hoping to better luck in the big city!
