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 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.
