Felicity Huffman $20 Million Real Estate Portfolio
The bribery scandal that broke in March 2019 exposed Felicity and William’s $20 million in real estate holdings. Near Macy’s old mater, Goddard College, in upstate Vermont sits the tiniest of their properties: a hut. Even before he met Felicity Huffman, in the 1980s, he bought the land. Macy wrote about the land in a 2006 NYT article:
“My little cabin actually started as three cabins. They were part of a motel called Toy Town, and they sat out on Route 2 until Daphne, the woman I bought the place from, moved them. I hooked them together, so although the cabin is only about 400 square feet, it has about 12 roof lines. On one side of the largest cabin there was a little door that opened to a fuse box. I didn’t have electricity, but I left the door there. One summer, for no good reason, I opened the door and a writhing mass of garter snakes fell out all over my feet. I jumped so high I left one of my shoes.”
While vacationing at Macy’s cabin, Magnolia’s director Paul Thomas Anderson penned the screenplay. The fact that Anderson was too terrified to venture outdoors after seeing one of those snakes served as inspiration for the film.
A 27-acre plot near Little Woody Creek, not far from Aspen, Colorado, is also part of the Macy-Huffman estate. Both Huffman and Macy were married there, and it was also her childhood home. Because it did not meet building codes, Huffman’s childhood home had to be torn down. Architectural Digest featured the couple’s remodeled home in 2018 after they had it reconstructed with contemporary updates.
The couple’s “old-new house” has essentially the same design as the one Huffman grew up in; the only differences are that it is 100 feet larger and shifted to the left. Two bathrooms serve each of the five guest bedrooms. Huffman has six sisters and shared a bathroom when they were little. The property’s current value exceeds $10 million.
Both partners have previously been featured in Architectural Digest. The couple’s home in Los Angeles’s Hancock Park neighborhood was featured in the magazine in 2000 after it had been restored. They tied the knot in 1997 and then purchased the Mediterranean-style house, which dates back to the 1920s. In addition, they have a modest house in the Northridge neighborhood of Los Angeles.
After the season of Desperate Housewives concluded, Huffman and Macy bought a house in Los Angeles’s Outpost Estate neighborhood. It had five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and 4,566 square feet. Acquiring the house adjacent to their Hollywood Hills residence allowed them to create a three-acre compound with two primary dwellings. A mansion worth $4 million is owned by Huffman and Macy. Valued around $8–10 million, the two-lot compound is a steal.
