Miranda Priestly’s Upper East Side townhouse is on the market for $27.5m — that’s all
The resounding colour scheme is not just blue, it’s not turquoise, it’s not lapis — it’s actually cerulean.
“You went upstairs? You went upstairs. Oh my god, why didn’t you just crawl into bed with her and ask for a bedtime story?”
She may have been a fictional magazine editor, but she was real to us, damn it.
As any cinephile worth their salt will know, The Devil Wears Prada is potentially one of the best films ever made. Period.
Meryl Streep’s Oscar-nominated embodiment of the definitely-not-Anna-Wintour-inspired Runway magazine editor Miranda Priestly is nothing if not completely and utterly iconic.
Now, 17 years after the film’s release, the Upper East Side townhouse that served as a location for Miranda Priestly’s home is on the market for a cool $27.5 million.
Oh, and it was also used as the set location for Dan and Serena’s wedding in HBO’s Gossip Girl, and who should live right across the street other than the Gloria Steinem.


Built in 1907 and renovated in 2005, this Neo-Italian Renaissance-style limestone and marble townhouse spans 12,000 square feet, six stories, and several outdoor spaces. There are seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, three balconies, a basketball court, a home gym, and a kitchen straight out of a Nancy Meyers’ movie.
Though The Devil Wears Prada’s standout set is doubtlessly Miranda’s Runway office, where she delivers devastating remark after devastating remark to her blithely unaware employees and throws an abundance of chic coats onto the desk of Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway), the character’s home is burned into our subconscious thanks to one notorious scene.
Entrusted to bring ‘The Book’ — a mockup of the next issue — to Miss Priestly’s house for proofing, Andy flounces up the spiral staircase (despite Emily’s forewarning and with some wheedling for the twins) to catch Miranda and her husband having a bit of a tiff.
Based on photos from the townhouse’s listing through the Modlin Group, it appears as though the foyer and stairwell remain largely unchanged.
