Cameron Diaz is putting her bachelorette days behind her.
It’s been nearly a year since the Annie actress, 43, tied the knot with Benji Madden — and the “Cameron” tattoo on his neck tells us they’re in it for the long haul — so she’s put her NYC pied-à-terre, which is in the Greenwich Village nabe, on the market. For a cool $4.25 million, the luxe two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment could be yours.

The space, which is already famous thanks to an Elle Décor photo shoot in 2013, is described as a “jewel box filled with color and texture creating a contemporary take on old Hollywood glamour” in the listing, which is being handled by Warburg Realty’s Rebecca I. Edwardson. “Every room, surface, fixture, and furnishing,” designed by West Coast interior decorator Kelly Wearstler, “is a work of art in itself, all custom, all artisan, and all painstakingly crafted."

Some of its selling points include a "sun-filled living room” with “hand-made artisan wallpaper, ceilings accented with hand stenciling, a wood-burning fireplace, artisan painted custom cabinetry for discrete storage, and sumptuous ivory silk shades.” In case you didn’t know, sumptuous shades are an essential in all homes.

The kitchen, described as a “true jewel box of deep emerald green artisan finished cabinets and appliances,” is a standout and features Sub-Zero, Miele, and Viking appliance as well as a built-in water filtration system.

The master bedroom features a fancy, massive closet area with mirrors on all the doors. If it’s good enough for Cameron’s clothes, we think it’s up to snuff for everyone else.

The master bath is “sexy and glamorous,” because everyone needs to have a sexy bathroom, and it features glass tiles, a custom parchment-covered vanity, and brass-trimmed mirrors. We’ll add that there’s also more than enough storage for cosmetics and haircare products… for the entire building. Look at all those drawers.

Things we were impressed by? For starters, the 14 feet of closet storage in the foyer. (In NYC that qualifies as a third bedroom.) Also, all rooms have electronic black-out shades and there is one-touch lighting by the front door that can illuminate the entire apt at once. (Take that, boogeyman!)

Diaz told Elle Décor that when it came to designing the place, she took inspiration from jewelry, handbags, and clothing. “I’m surrounded by things that mean something to me. That’s what a home is,” she said.
As for some of the flashier elements — and we think the guest bathroom qualifies as flashy — "I blame my love of sparkly, shiny things on my Cuban roots,” she said. “But I also wanted a place that felt very homey, very tactile.”

Home for Diaz and Madden is now primarily in Los Angeles. They own a pad in Beverly Hills — it’s where they tied the knot in January — and they also spend a lot of time in Australia, where he films the Down Under version of The Voice.
If the rumors are true and they are trying to have kids, they may make the next NYC apartment they buy a bigger one. Sure, two bedrooms are enough for two adults and a baby, but these are celebrities, folks. They need nanny quarters!
