Wisteria Lane, this is not.
Felicity Huffman‘s Snowmass, Colorado, home may be a picture-perfect Colonial, but her neighbors are more likely to be roaming elk than desperate housewives.
It’s “so indescribably beautiful in any direction you look, just magnificent,” her husband,ShamelessstarWilliam H. Macey, tellsarchdigest.comof the Rocky Mountain location.
But it’s the sentimental connection that Huffman loves most. The actress grew up in a slightly smaller original house on the same plot and she and Macy were married there in 1997. After her mother passed away, she scooped up the land and her childhood home, which had fallen into disrepair.

Without another option, Macy and Huffman chose to thoroughly document every detail of the original house, then tear it down and rebuild a nearly identical, slightly larger one right next to it. They worked with local Divide Creek Builders and designerLonni Paulto create what Macy calls “the Hollywood version of the old house.”
“We’ve got extra cross-country skis; we’ve got go-karts; we’ve got horses—anything you want to play with, we’ve got the toys,” says Macy, who allows it’s a tactic to make sure their two daughters, Sofia, 17, and Georgia, 16, come visit after the go to college.
What the family has dubbed “the old-new house” will no doubt stay in the family for many years to come. “I loved everything about it,” says Huffman. “There wasn’t a catch. It’s nostalgic.”
