Anne Hathaway's House

Oscar-winning actor who broke out as a teenage royal in The Princess Diaries in 2001. She won her Academy Award for Les Misérables and played opposite Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada.

The house went up from 1902 to 1904 as a single-family neo-Georgian row house of red brick and stone, designed by Percy Griffin. Landmarks Preservation Commission records list Frederick Ambrose Clark as its developer.

Clark's grandfather Edward Clark made his fortune in the Singer Sewing Machine Company and commissioned the Dakota. When he died in 1882, Daytonian in Manhattan notes, he left this land to Frederick, then 1 year old.

Griffin's row ran to 18 houses, and the Clarks rented them out rather than selling. The estate finally sold the row on April 2, 1921, according to the same Daytonian history.

Hathaway and her husband, Adam Shulman, bought the building's top-floor co-op apartment in January 2016, according to NYC Department of Finance sales records.

The couple's renovation was designed by Gramercy Design. Sotheby's International Realty quoted the firm saying it painstakingly replicated moldings and period architecture to suit the house's neo-Georgian origins.

They put the penthouse up for sale in February 2020. Sotheby's, the couple's broker, said the family needed more room after their second child arrived.
