The Manhattan townhouse that played the home of publishing titan Miranda Priestly in the 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada has sold for $26.5 million, according to news reports.

The seven-bedroom six-story townhouse on Manhattan’s Upper East Side spans 12,000 square feet and was listed for $27.5 million in May, according to The Wall Street Journal

In the film, the townhouse serves as the home of Meryl Streep’s character, the editor of fictional fashion magazine, Runway — reputedly based on Anna Wintour’s Vogue. In reality, the home was purchased in 2003 by hedge fund manager Craig Effron for $8.8 million. The new owner of the house is unknown.

Douglas Elliman’s Corey Shuster, who represented the buyer alongside Arthur Maglio and Ibrahim Guldiken, told the Journal his client had been looking for a house in the neighborhood for around 18 months. When the townhouse at 129 East 73rd Street came on the market  “it fit like a glove,” he told the newspaper.

The buyer appreciated that it is “a very good house for entertaining” and that the seller kept the house in good condition, according to the report.
