The New York City townhouse that fashion-terror Miranda Priestly called home in The Devil Wears Prada movie has sold for a staggering $26.5million.

The six-story home on the Upper East Side, which spans 12,000 square-feet, boasts seven bedrooms and seven full bathrooms – as well as four half bathrooms.

The Neo-Italian Renaissance-style house was originally built in 1907 by architect Henry Allan Jacobs before a  renovation was overseen by designer Diamond Barrata in 2005 – and it has since achieved an A-list pedigree.

It appears to have been largely unchanged inside since Andy Sachs haplessly attempted to deliver a book to the residence in the 2006 film.

Originally listed by Coldwell Banker, the house stands at 22 feet wide – impressive for any space in NYC – and has a total of 20 rooms across the space.

Highlights of the elite property include a den with arched ceilings, doors and wood paneling, which leads into the eat-in kitchen currently painted in white with cabinetry to match.

Upstairs is a library on the street side to the south, and the master bedroom at the rear of the home facing north.

Appliances are all state of the art, the floors and countertops are marble, and there is a skylight over the breakfast area. Leading off the kitchen is an outdoor patio space.

In the living room, built-in bookshelves line the walls, a trio of tall arched windows open out onto the street, and there are two working fireplaces along the room. 

Behind that is a dining room – complete with another fireplace – and a servant’s pantry with a staircase connecting it to the kitchen below. There is also a terrace extending off the dining room.

The upper levels are accessed by a spiral wooden staircase that winds the height of the townhouse.

The primary bedroom is located on the third floor, with a Juliet balcony, a spacious walk-in closet, fit for a fashion icon, and a fabulous en suite bathroom with natural light and a deep soaking tub.

The master bathroom has one of the home’s most prominent features — a large circular window situated directly over the lavish bathtub

The residence was home to fictional character Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep, in the 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada. 

The house was seen on-screen when Priestly’s assistant Andy, played by actress Anne Hathaway, had to deliver a mockup of the ‘Runway’ magazine to her boss.

The movie was based on a book by the same name, written by a former staffer of Vogue editor Anna Wintour.

The movie was released in 2006 and became a smash hit, grossing more than $320million.

Streep was nominated for an Academy Award as Best Actress for her portrayal of Priestly. She lost the award to Helen Mirren in The Queen.
