If you’ve ever wished that life was more like a Wes Anderson movie, then you’re in luck: the mansion from The Royal Tenenbaums is now available to rent.
That’s right, the iconic home that the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Anjelica Huston and Bill Murray filmed in could be yours for the, ah, low price of USD $20,000 a month.
Okay, so maybe it’s a little out of our price range, but that doesn’t mean we can’t daydream about moving in and turning into Margot Tenenbaum.
As reported by Guest of a Guest, the sprawling mansion is on the market for the first time since 1999, which means it was last available two years prior to the film‘s release.
The townhouse is situated in the New York suburb of Hamilton Heights, within Manhatten. It was built way back in 1899 by Jacob D. Butler and was even once the home of US attorney Charles H. Tuttle, who ran for the city’s governor against Franklin D. Roosevelt.
While certain areas of the home like the kitchen and bathroom have received modern renovations, much of its original architectural details are in tact, like stained glass windows and a casual six fireplaces.

Meanwhile, it turns out there is another way to live out your Wes Anderson-related fantasies that’s a little closer to home (and cost-effective).
Melbourne’s The Budapest Cafe’s decor is modelled after another of the director’s classic flicks, 2014’s The Grand Budapest Hotel.
While we all wait for Anderson’s next film The French Dispatch to finally be released, brunch may just be the perfect way to pass the time.
