Some film interiors are practically as familiar as our own homes, and this stands true for Holly Golightly's (Audrey Hepburn's) NYC apartment in the beloved Breakfast at Tiffany's.

While the actual interiors of the film were shot on a studio set, now, someone will have a chance to make the storied property at 169 East 71st Street their own, as it has just hit the market for $15 million.

Built at the turn of the century, this five-story townhouse includes an elevator, four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and three powder rooms. The design leans luxe contemporary, with a neutral palette and vintage-inspired lighting and decor. Let's take a look inside.

The neutral living room is elegant yet cozy, with a fireplace, multiple chandeliers and wall sconces, and twin sofas sandwiching a low-profile coffee table, which is minimally decorated with books and accessories.

The kitchen, meanwhile, makes a subtle statement with metallics, from the silver, state-of-the-art appliances to the gold and white wallpaper (the space certainly makes the case for mixing metals).

White pendant lights hang brightly above the kitchen island, which features sleek, gray stools that coordinate with the island's painted base. The Calacatta Oro marble mosaic backsplash is notably imported from Italy.

The bedroom features a striking, skeletal bedframe, which feels at once modern and Victorian thanks to its iron material. It contrasts the softness of the rest of the room, from the beige rug to the white bedding.

It doesn't get much more luxurious than a silver bathtub, and we love how the stand-alone one in this bathroom serves as a centerpiece among clean white walls, marble countertops, and gray-and-white patterned wallpaper.

The lounge area sees some eclectic decor in the form of an animal print accent chair as well as abstract hanging art, while the muted color palette keeps the ambiance relaxing and warm.

Primed for hosting, this wine cellar acts as a makeshift home bar, with two fridges, glass storage, and ample seating.

This simple but efficient wet bar is a plus, perfect for creating a chic coffee station or mixing cocktails (it is located on the fifth floor, which leads onto the terrace).
