Iconic Breakfast at Tiffany's brownstone hits market at $15 million
Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany once said: 'I don't want to own anything until I find a place where me and things go together' - and this might be the place for fans of the iconic 1961 film to do just that. If you want a slice of Hollywood history, this could be your chance, as the gorgeous Upper East Side brownstone made famous in Breakfast at Tiffany's is now up for sale. The turn-of-the-century townhouse, which was used as the façade for Audrey Hepburn's socialite character, Holly, has hit the market at $15 million. Though the interior scenes of the apartment were filmed on a studio lot, the home is still regarded as one of New York City 's most famous movie homes. The townhouse, located at 169 East 71st Street, is a landmarked, five-story residence and even has a sweet nod to the movie that made it famous featuring a Tiffany-blue door. The brownstone is also mere steps away from Tiffany's flagship Fifth Avenue store. As per the listing, the 4,465-square-foot five-story home features an elevator, fully built-out basement, and recently underwent an extensive three-year renovation - restoring the home with 'no expense spared.' The abode also has a 30-foot landscaped garden with custom latticework, two setback terraces, four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and three powder rooms, making it as iconic as the film. It could event function as a multi-family home, with a separate entrance in the garden for a second residence, featuring a den, a large bedroom, and an open kitchen. The home, which was built in 1910, features 10-foot ceilings and original architectural details, with the listing boasting that it 'blends seamlessly with refined upgrades.' There's no reason to even leave the house for a night out, with a bar area in the basement level featuring stone walls and a wine cellar with two Liebherr wine fridges. As per the listing, t he home was previously sold for $1.8 million in 2000 and for $5.9 million in 2012. TODAY also reported that the home was sold in 2015 for $7.4 million. In 2021, the entire townhouse was available for rent through the luxury rental site Inspirato, as per Town & Country.

The New York City apartment from 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' is on the market for $15 million. It features a Tiffany-blue door.
The five-story apartment building seen in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is on sale for $15 million. The New York City brownstone served as the façade for Holly Golightly's apartment in exterior shots. It's one of the most iconic movie homes in the city and features a Tiffany-blue door. Break out those black sunglasses and pearls, because for the first time in decades, you could own a slice of New York City's cinematic history. The iconic New York brownstone that served as the façade for Holly Golightly's apartment in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is now up for grabs after hitting the market for $15 million on May 15. Though the interior scenes of the apartment were filmed on a studio lot, the home is still regarded as one of New York City's most famous movie homes. It also features one major homage to the 1961 film: a Tiffany-blue door that overlooks a quaint, tree-lined Upper East Side street just steps away from Tiffany's flagship Fifth Avenue store. Here's a look inside the iconic home. The Upper East Side home is one of the most famous in New York City, with a price tag to match. The five-story townhouse on East 71st Street could serve as a two-family home thanks to a separate apartment on the garden level. The listing said the home was previously sold for $1.88 million in 2000 and for $5.975 million in 2012. TODAY also reported that the home was sold in 2015 for $7.4 million, making the most recent listing price double what it last sold for. The home has undergone an extensive three-year renovation and restoration project. The home, which was built in 1910, features 10-foot ceilings and original architectural details. "They say you can't buy history. At 169 East 71st, you sort of can," the Corcoran listing reads. The front sitting room features a marble gas fireplace and chandeliers. Though the home's exterior is well-known as the site of Holly Golightly's small one-bedroom New York City apartment, filming never actually took place inside the townhouse. Instead, all of the interior shots, including the famous party scene, were filmed on a studio lot in California. Still, the home is just a short walk from Tiffany's flagship New York City location at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street, meaning future owners could have breakfast there if they so desired. The actual townhouse has a layout that includes a parlor-level dining room. The historic townhouse has renovated details like white-oak herringbone floors and updated light fixtures to blend the home's original architecture with a more modern style. The kitchen features more herringbone wood flooring and a marble mosaic backsplash imported from Italy. The chef's kitchen has luxe features like Calacatta Gold marble countertops, a six-burner Wolf range stove with vented hood, a Sub-Zero fridge, and custom cabinets. It has four bedrooms across its five floors. The third floor of the townhouse has two bedrooms, both of which have en-suite bathrooms and 9-foot-tall ceilings. The primary suite occupies the entirety of the fourth floor. The primary bedroom has a gas fireplace with an antique mantel and a separate dressing area with a vanity. In "Breakfast at Tiffany's," the main character, Holly, has a bathtub in the middle of her living room. The primary bathroom of the real-life townhouse has a freestanding soaking tub made with polished nickel, a walk-in shower, and Calacatta Gold Damask-patterned marble. There's a large terrace off the primary suite. The terrace spans 247 square feet and overlooks the Upper East Side. The garden level acts as a secondary residence that future owners could rent out. The one-bedroom apartment features exposed brick walls, a den, and a full kitchen with stainless-steel appliances. One impressive feature of the home is the large fenced-in garden. The townhouse has an elevator to get between the home's multiple stories. In the basement level, there's a bar area with stone walls and a wine cellar with two Liebherr wine fridges. Town & Country reported that in 2021, the entire townhouse was available for rent through the rental site Inspirato. Inspirato Pass holders could rent the home for a $2,500 flat monthly fee. Inspirato Club members were required to pay a nightly fee in addition to their typical $600-a-month subscription to the luxury rental site. While the price might sound steep, the outlet reported that the rental included concierge services and a "stocked fridge." New owners will have to stock their own fridge — though for someone buying a home with a listing price of $15 million, that shouldn't be too much of a stretch.

A look inside MhM, London's most exclusive private hospital
Holly Golightly used to jump in a cab to Tiffany's when she was suffering from the 'mean reds'. 'Calms me down right away,' she said. 'The quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there.' That fictional free spirit should be given an honorary MD. Today there are screeds of academic papers to back up the truism that uplifting interiors and cosseting service boost feelings of wellbeing. As papers by Roger Ulrich, a professor at the Texas A&M University College of Architecture, report: 'Environmental factors such as exposure to natural light, art, and nature have been shown to reduce stress, enhance mood, and improve recovery times in healthcare settings.' Most patients' recovery, though, usually takes place in pretty cheerless surroundings. Which is why Memorial Houston Medical (MhM), the American wellness specialist, has launched an outpost in South Kensington. 'We wanted to break that very sterile mould and bring in personal touches,' Danny Shebaclo, its director, says. 'We've put a lot of thought into what the patient rooms look like, so a patient doesn't go through the horrendous white box journey in the recovery process — so they can feel healthier in a shorter period of time.' • The new art-filled London hospital is on Fulham Road in an art deco-style building once occupied by a Theo Fennell jewellery store. It has space for six patients at a time and specialises in postoperative care, from complex wound management to long-term cancer care. While surgery takes place at partner hospitals such as the Wellington, the Harley Street Clinic and the Royal Brompton, the road to recovery starts at MhM. The facility also offers cosmetic procedures, including eyelid surgeries, brow lifts, microneedling, chemical peels, MYST stem cell therapy and platelet-rich plasma treatment. So while some clients might have flown into London from around the world for procedures that need lengthy postoperative care, others might be Londoners popping in to freshen up their forehead. The focus on the clinic's beautiful design, Shebaclo says, is 'to make everyone feel relaxed. We're going back to those roots where people can be treated in a homelike environment in order to increase their wellbeing and speed up their recovery.' This place is certainly a 'home-like environment' if you are accustomed to five-star hotels such as the Dorchester, where the front-of-house manager, Alberto Colonna, worked and where his team, including nurses, were trained. The attention to detail will be as cosseting as the hotel. Before the patients arrive, Colonna will have researched all their preferences, from nutrition to bath linen. And as well as anticipating their needs, ensuring a calm environment, and liaising with chefs, he will be able to book appointments with a lengthy menu of therapists, on and off site — including specialists in equine therapy. The interiors and design of the hospital have been equally carefully considered. Bespoke furnishings have been created by the fashion house Elie Saab — who made the chief executive's daughter's wedding dress — in materials from bronzed brass and marble to hand-carved eucalyptus wood. The fine art has been curated by the London-based Ackerman Studios. There are pieces by Andy Warhol and Peter Blake, a surrealist collage by Maria Rivans on the ground floor, and works by Ewan David Eason, a London artist best known for his gilded city maps. • This article contains affiliate links that can earn us revenue • London's hottest new club: a smart wellness hub in Knightsbridge The clinic entrance features Eason's Blessings — Latin and an Arabic blessings overlaid one on top of the other — and on the vaulted ceiling of the top floor is a map of London in 24-carat gold. It's the largest artwork Eason has created and the largest scale map of London within the UK. 'I'm calling it Sacred Path,' the artist says. 'As you walk into the room, you see this golden Thames on the ceiling. It follows the person who's coming in, flows with them on their journey, and it's a hope that they are going to be ushered along its path towards health.' In-patient care from £750 a night,
