Pete Davidson Takes Beloved New York Retreat Off the Market as Co-Parenting Takes Center Stage

Pete Davidson once described his peaceful home in North Salem, New York, as something close to paradise — a quiet retreat where the noise of the city seemed to disappear.

Now, months after deciding he was ready to leave it behind, the comedian has made another unexpected move: the property is no longer for sale.

Davidson’s four-bedroom, three-bathroom country home was officially removed from the market on Aug. 13 after spending months listed for sale and undergoing several price reductions. The change comes during a significant transition in his personal life, only weeks after he and former partner Elsie Hewitt reached an agreement concerning the co-parenting of their baby daughter, Scottie. The exact reason Davidson withdrew the property has not been disclosed.

A Home He Had Been Ready to Leave

Davidson, 32, first placed the North Salem property on the market in February 2026 with an asking price of $2.5 million.

Finding a buyer apparently proved difficult. After multiple reductions, the asking price eventually reached $1.9 million before the listing disappeared in August.

That figure was notable because Davidson had purchased the home in June 2023 for just under $2 million.

The decision to sell was not initially presented as a rejection of the property itself. In fact, Davidson had spoken warmly about the home and the sense of calm he found there. His reason for moving was tied to a much bigger change in his life: becoming a father.

He had explained that he hoped to live closer to his family in Staten Island while raising Scottie.

Fatherhood Changed the Picture

Davidson and Hewitt, 30, welcomed their first child together in December 2025.

Their daughter’s name carries particular emotional meaning for the comedian. Scottie was named in honor of Davidson’s late father, Scott Matthew Davidson.

The arrival of his daughter came relatively quickly after Davidson and Hewitt were first romantically linked in March 2025. By the following year, however, the couple were facing difficulties in their relationship.

In April, it was reported that they were attempting to work through those challenges together following Scottie’s birth. Their relationship ultimately ended in May.

Even before the split became public, Davidson had spoken enthusiastically about the experience of becoming a parent. In March, he described fatherhood as both exhausting and rewarding and praised Hewitt as a mother, saying he felt fortunate to be raising their child with her.

Their Relationship Ended, but Parenting Did Not

Although Davidson and Hewitt were no longer together, their daughter remained the connection between them.

On July 31, it was confirmed that the former couple had reached what was described as a joint agreement regarding Scottie.

Their message focused less on their breakup and more on what would come next. Davidson and Hewitt said they were working together as co-parents and emphasized that their daughter’s well-being would remain their priority.

They also made clear that they wanted Scottie to receive love from both parents.

Less than two weeks later, Davidson’s North Salem home was pulled from the market.

There has been no confirmation that the co-parenting agreement directly caused Davidson to rethink the sale, and the reason for removing the listing remains unclear. Still, the timing places the real-estate decision in the middle of a larger period of change for Davidson as he adjusts to raising his first child while navigating life separately from Hewitt.

The Country House Offered a Very Different Life

Davidson’s affection for the property was never difficult to understand.

The roughly 2,300-square-foot residence sits on six acres in Westchester County, surrounded by greenery and overlooking a pond. The setting offered an atmosphere far removed from the pace and attention associated with New York City.

Inside, one of the most striking features is a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Davidson also added a massive fish tank after purchasing the property.

The home includes numerous spaces designed around relaxation and recreation, including a sauna, wine cellar, cold plunge and hot tub. A covered porch features automatic screens, while the grounds and living areas also include a covered lap pool, gym, media room and multiple decks.

For Davidson, however, the appeal appears to have gone beyond amenities.

When discussing the house earlier in the year, the former Saturday Night Live cast member described North Salem as an escape from the constant noise of New York City. He said the environment allowed him to wake naturally and experience an unusual sense of stillness.

He even called living there “paradise.”

That makes the attempt to sell the home — and its sudden removal from the market — more personal than an ordinary celebrity property transaction. Davidson was trying to leave a place he genuinely valued because another priority had become more important: being nearer to family as he entered fatherhood.

A Different Kind of Transition

The past year has brought several major changes at once for Davidson.

He became a father for the first time. His relationship with Hewitt ended only months after their daughter’s birth. The former couple then had to establish a new relationship with each other — no longer as romantic partners, but as parents responsible for raising Scottie together.

At the same time, Davidson was attempting to part with a country home that had provided him with something he openly treasured: peace.

For now, that house remains part of his life.

Whether removing it from the market represents a temporary pause or a longer-term change in plans has not been made clear. But as Davidson and Hewitt move forward with their co-parenting arrangement, the North Salem retreat has unexpectedly stayed put — at least for the moment.
