Wes Anderson did not just use the 6,000 square-foot brownstone for its beautiful outside appearance, the interior of the house was part of the movie, too. According to AFAR, the house was rented for six months and the famous turret of the house was turned into bedrooms for fictional characters Margot, Richie, and Chase.

The mansion has five floors (guests will only have access to four of them) featuring a formal living and dining rooms, gas-operated fireplaces, original stained-glass windows, decorative woodwork, and a grand foyer — but with modern touches in the chef’s kitchen and contemporary bathrooms.
