Another big mansion sale is heading for “New York’s hottest block.”

A townhouse right next to Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick’s double mansion has gone on the market for $34.5 million. The 8,000-square-foot property, known as the Harriot Mansion, at 271 W. 11th St., features seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms, high ceilings and one of the deepest gardens in the neighborhood. The townhouse is being sold by Alicia CastroLeal Harper, whose father, Antonio Castro Leal, was a prominent diplomat and ambassador to France. Her husband, Alan Harper, a CBS producer, had purchased the home more than 40 years ago, but he passed away in 1991.

Listing broker Jenny Lenz couldn’t be reached for comment. The two attached townhouses right next door, which SJP and Broderick reportedly paid $35 million for both in 2016, are in the process of being combined into a 13,900-square-foot megamansion. On the other side is Sprint CEO Marcelo Claure, who recently bought his townhouse for $28 million.

Sam Hill only spent a portion of his life in Seattle, but the businessman and philanthropist made his mark on the burgeoning region in the early decades of the 20th century. His notable projects include the Maryhill Museum of Art and Maryhill Stonehenge, but the most iconic building he left behind within the Seattle limits is the neoclassical mansion at 814 E Highland Drive, designed by architecture firm Hornblower & Marshall around 1908.

Hill used the mansion to entertain many international dignitaries during his lifetime, although he originally built the place for his friend Crown Prince Albert of Belgium to visit. (The Crown Prince never made the trip, though.)

The Seattle Times wrote of the estate back in 1932 when it originally went up for sale. They speak of the place with the kind of purple prose you don’t quite find in the papers anymore.

That indefinable air of remoteness, intrigue and melancholy which caused the old mansion to stand out on its lonely street as if plucked from the heart of a horror tale, is slowly but effectively being dispelled.

They describe a residence that includes a secret passageway from the master suite and walls covered in “transparent colored photographs of Northwest land and sea-scapes.”

Many of the original features are gone, thanks to various renovations that occurred over the years, including one that converted it into a duplex sometime after 1937. But the concrete exterior looks very much the same from the outside.

It last hit the market in 2008 for $4,750,000, but was eventually delisted.

In the meantime, the property got a remodel. Last July, the property is popped up for a whopping $15 million, and it’s stayed there ever since. It’s the most expensive Seattle listing by $1.2 million.

The reason for the jump from under $5 million to eight figures? A massive renovation. We’d call it a studs-out remodel, but there are literally no studs in this concrete block of a home.

With the help of Stuart Silk Architects, interior design from Garret Cord Werner Architects and Interior Designers and landscape design by Richard Hartledge, the new version is a blend of old and new that tries not to let one overwhelm the other.

In the dining room, original steel beams that run the length of the home have been exposed to juxtapose the elegant modern redesign. In the master suite, the original floors and fireplace remain. Outside, gas-lit lamps build an ambiance similar to what it might have been like back when Hill himself roamed the grounds.

One of the most curious-looking spaces in the home has to be the gym. That’s because it was originally the horse stable. You can still see where the big stable doors once stood and the tall openings in the wall where the horses looked out from. These days it’s not only a gym but a spa room with a steam shower and sauna.

Also worth nothing: The home comes with the oldest working sundial in Seattle, which happens to be located on the property.

Initially, the home’s spot on the National Register of Historic Places kept its taxes practically nonexistent. But after the home made the news last year, the King County Assessor took a closer look and sent a $50,000 tax bill.

Still, at .3 percent of the home’s value, that seems like a steal for whoever can afford to buy the home in the first place.

Apparently we can look at your face and determine if you are making a good living according to a recent story in New York Post. see below

Does your household earn a comfortable living? If so, you may have resting rich face.

A new study from the University of Toronto, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, found that people’s faces may reveal whether they’re rich or poor.

The study’s authors grouped subjects ages 18 to 22 into two groups — those with total family incomes under $60,000, and those with incomes above $100,000 — and had them pose for pictures without expressing any emotion. A separate group of subjects then looked at the photographed faces and determined whether they were poor or rich. They were able to guess correctly with roughly 53% accuracy, which is above random chance.

“Over time, your face comes to permanently reflect and reveal your experiences,” says study co-author Nicholas Rule. “Even when we think we’re not expressing something, relics of those emotions are still there.”

The results, which authors say were not affected by race or gender, were hard for the subjects to explain. “People are not really aware of what cues they are using when they make these judgments,” says study co-author Thora Bjornsdottir. “If you ask them why, they don’t know. They are not aware of how they are doing this.”

Of course, there are variables that this small study couldn’t account for: family incomes can change over the course of a subject’s childhood, and average income differs greatly from place to place. But study authors say that the results may provide more clues into poverty cycles and social classes.
