The New York City brownstone, where the main characters of the classic movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's" lived, just got a pricechopper and is now asking $8 million.
The residence first debuted on the listing market with a $10 million price tag in May, this year. Sitting unclaimed for a few months now, the residence's price has just been reduced.
The brownstone located at 169 East 71st Street on the Upper East Side of Manhattan was featured as both Holly Golightly and narrator Fred's residence. While the exteriors of the residence were used to film parts of the movie, it's uncertain if the interiors of Holly and Fred's apartments were shot in a studio set or in the real house.
According to the listing records at Streeteasy, the four-storey brownstone is divided into two duplex residences. The listing says that the home is to be "converted into 4 bedroom, 5 bath a single family home that boasts 3,800 square feet which includes 4 floors, an enclosed greenhouse, and basement, with option to expand."
Floor plans show there is a basement level and three stories above the ground level. The ground floor/main level has a large living room, an eat-in kitchen and a huge solarium. The upper level has a den, a bedroom and two bathrooms.
The other duplex unit perches atop the first floor. The lower level is comprised of a living room, a dining room and a pantry-attached kitchen. The upper floor has two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The brownstone has been renovated over the years. It now features hardwood flooring, French windows and wooden doors with drywall ceilings.
The listing describes the place as a "beautiful Brownstone, located on one of the most exceptional blocks on the Upper East Side."

Holly Golightly's character made Audrey Hepburn an instant fashion and Hollywood icon. For the past five decades, many have speculated if Golightly's character was inspired by a real-life character. According to author Truman Capote, it was!
"He claimed there was a real Holly, a woman who lived downstairs from him when he was a writer who'd just moved to New York in the early 1940s (like the autobiographical narrator of Capote's tale), though he never identified her by name," according to AOL.com.
