Hollywood House Hunters: Anne Hathaway’s New Apartment Looks Sorta Miserables

Anne Hathaway and her hubby Adam Schulman, along with their as-yet-unnamed bun in the oven, have just purchased a $2.55 million dollar Upper West Side penthouse pied-à-terre. But before you get visions of grandeur—a sweeping view of Central Park or a rooftop pool with Evian-spritzing butlers—stop. This place is very much the apartment-next-door (which actually kinda works for the girl-next-door).
To start with: it’s on the cozy side (read: teensy). At 1,200-square-feet, the two-bedroom, two-bath pad is about half the size of the average newly built American home. According to a floor plan posted by Curbed, the master bedroom is a mere 13’ by 12’. That’s only slightly bigger than mine!

The 8’ by 8’6” kitchen looks like it was last renovated circa 1995 (is that oven black? *Shudders*). Seriously, I half expect Zack Morris and Screech to walk in for a soda.
But the biggest eyesore in the apartment—and one I’m sure they’ll revamp first—is that bathroom. Fire-engine-red shelves? A gray-green toilet? A weird glass sink that looks like a bowl you can never properly wash, because it’s bolted to the counter?

Celebrities…they’re just like us! (In that they have questionably designed bathrooms and kitchens).
But we know Anne hath a way (get it?) to get the house fixed-up and camera ready before they move in. It’s like pre-makeover Andrea Sachs from The Devil Wears Prada: just give it time…and the help of a stylist.
Anne, forgive us for poking fun—you know we’re obviously just jealous of your Princess Diaries-like life, and would move into your pad in a heartbeat if we had the cash. We can definitely see why you bought it: the skylights and private terrace are every New Yorker’s dream. It just needs a bunch of TLC—we’d suggest your Intern director Nancy Meyers. That woman just gets how to decorate a house.
