One of the Last Gilded Age Mansions ??

Real Estate Remix?

One of New York City’s last surviving mansions from the Gilded Age is now for sale—for a cool $65 million. The Upper East Side home was built in 1901 (at the height of the Gilded Age) and boasts 28 rooms, including seven beds, eight baths, 14 fireplaces, and eight floors (six above street level) all spanning 18,000 square feet. The limestone Beaux Arts home is located at 15 E 63rd Street (the same street where Neil Diamond currently lives) and was designed by architect John H. Duncan. Many of the home’s details are original to its construction, including a fly, winding marble staircase. Louise Beit of Sotheby’s has the listing. Learn more about the home (and see the stunning photos) here.

Don’t Burn Bridges to Light Your Way!?

This is a killer gem that I had to learn the hard way in my younger years. Inevitably, there will come a time in your life when you need to exit from a personal or professional relationship, and doing so the wrong way can be hurtful, disruptive, and counterproductive. Not to mention it can have long-lasting repercussions! My main takeaway for you today is that it’s always best to ‘Go with Grace’, be respectful to everyone involved, and don’t burn bridges to light your way.?
