Devil Wears Prada fans - if you have always dreamt of living life like editorial powerhouse Miranda Priestly, you can. If you have deep pockets.

The New York townhouse which plays home to the iconic character in the 2006 cult classic has hit the market for a staggering $27 million (£21.4 million.)

Located at 129 East 73rd Street on the affluent Upper East Side, the impressive property spans 12,000 square feet and boasts a five-storey tall stature.

Built in the early 1990s and renovated a year before the film hit cinemas, the building has 20 rooms, ten bathrooms and a half basketball court alongside a rooftop terrace. Sold, yet?

The house appears largely unchanged since Anne Hathaway's character Andy Sachs attempted to deliver a book there to ruthless editor Miranda (Meryl Steep) in the film.

Its other stunning features include but are not limited to three sets of French doors at the main entrance, a series of fireplaces, a sweeping staircase, built-in bookshelves, pristine marble interiors, terraces, balconies and skylights.

Another important detail has been noted: 'Upholstery and light fixtures are blue. A particular shade - not just blue, not turquoise, not lapis. Cerulean.'

A NYC real estate agent has kindly given the property low-down, with pictures, here.

One considered the $27 million listing price to be... reasonable. They wrote, 'Seems like a good deal...from an outsider's point of view for the size, square footage and condition.'

Thrilled with its untouched appearance, another praised, 'I love that the design has stood the test of time! It still looks fresh!'

The Devil Wears Prada was a box office phenomenon, raking in $326 million (£258.5 million) worldwide. Based on the 2003 novel of the same name, the story was written by Lauren Weisberger, a former assistant to Vogue's editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. It follows Andy Sachs, an aspiring journalist, who lands a job as a personal assistant to Miranda Priestly, the demanding boss at Runway magazine.

'A rare film that surpasses the quality of its source novel, this Devil is a witty expose of New York's fashion scene, with Meryl Streep in top form and Anne Hathaway more than holding her own,' read one glowing review.

An impressive residence to snap up, we envy the lucky inhabitants who will be taking the famous fictional pad off the market. Although as one fan of the film remarked, 'For that price I expect it to never get dusty or need cleaning.'
