In cinema and pop culture, there are only a few backdrops so iconic that they can be recognized at a glance: Monica Geller's apartment from Friends, Hannah Montana's enviable walk-in closet, and, of course, Miranda Priestly's legendary New York City townhouse from The Devil Wears Prada.

For fans of the 2006 cult-favorite film, here's some exciting news: The townhouse that served as the stunning residence of Runway’s editor-in-chief, played by Meryl Streep, has just been sold for a staggering $27.5 million (approximately P1.5 billion). Wow!
The sale of this iconic townhouse was first announced in May 2023, sparking a wave of interest and nostalgia among fans of the book and film.
For those who vividly recall the scenes where Andy Sachs, played by Anne Hathaway, attempted to deliver "The Book" to Miranda in the 2006 movie, this property surely has a special place in their hearts.
Originally constructed in 1906, the townhouse underwent extensive renovations in 2005, transforming it into a modern-day luxury residence that still retained its historic charm. The result is a magnificent 12,000-square-foot abode spread out across six floors, boasting seven bedrooms and seven full bathrooms.
The house was originally owned by hedge-fund mogul Craig Effron and his wife, but is now under the ownership of an unnamed buyer. Through representatives, the buyer expressed that the house's fame was a "cool tidbit," although it wasn't the deciding factor. It's definitely a great conversation starter for a housewarming party!
The Devil Wears Prada is streaming on Disney+.
