"Breakfast At Tiffany's" Manhattan Apartment For Sale [GALLERY]
Live Like Holly Golightly At Her Brownstone Pad
Located on Manhattan's Upper East Side, and made famous by Truman Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany's, Holly Golightly's apartment is up for sale. Yes, if you would like to sit on a window ledge, strumming away and singing Moon River, then this is the apartment for you. So long as you have $5.85 million to lay down.
According to Forbes, the current owner of Miss Golightly's pad is Peter Bacanovic, a former Merrill Lynch broker embroiled in the Martha Stewart insider trading case. Bacanovic bought the property in 2000 for $6.58 million, meaning that at $5.85 million, the place is a steal.
