We doubt the buyer of this townhouse moved at a glacial pace when nabbing such an enviable piece of property.

This past week, it was revealed through theModlin Group, a high-end real estate firm, that the townhouse at 129 East 73rd Street hadsoldfor an eye-popping $26.5 million (it wasoriginally listedfor $27.5M). While this piece of information might not be exciting on its own, film and fashion lovers will be interested to hear that the residence is none other than the home where Miranda Priestly (played by Meryl Streep) lives inThe Devil Wears Prada.

Yep, that’s the one. If your memory needs a little refreshing, think ofthe scenewhere Andy (Anne Hathaway) is tasked with bringing “The Book” (AKA the mock-up of the next edition ofRunwaymagazine) to Miranda’s home. While there, Andy gets tricked by Miranda’s twin daughters, who tell her that she should bring The Book upstairs, even though she was instructed to leave it on the entryway table.

While viewers might have been engrossed by the action of the scene, we personally couldn’t help but fawn at the stunning spiral staircase, the gorgeous crown moldings and more.

According toan Instagram postfrom the Modlin Group, the Upper East Side residence is a “22-foot wide, Neo-Italian Renaissance-style limestone and marble townhouse” with “approximately 12,000 square feet amid six stories with several outdoor spaces.”

The home was built in 1907 and then renovated in 2005 (one year beforeThe Devil Wears Pradahit theaters). Oh, and it’slocated across the streetfrom Gloria Steinem’s home (casual).

If there’s one thing we know about Miranda Priestly, it's that she had good taste.
