The “Royal Tenenbaums” house in Harlem now offers a $ 40 Airbnb stay

HARLEM, NY – The famous Hamilton Heights home that caused a stir when it was rented out last week is back with a new offer: a two-night stay for just $ 40.

The extravagant six-bedroom house on Convent Avenue and West 144th Street is famous for appearing in “The Royal Tenenbaums,” Wes Anderson’s 2001 film about a large, dysfunctional family.

Last week, the 8,000 square foot mansion appeared in a real estate ad for the first time since 1999, with an asking rent of $ 20,000 per month.

Reservations open at noon on May 26 on a first come, first served basis.

Besides its cinematic renown, the home at 339 Convent Ave. has a historical legacy. Built by 19th century developer Jacob D. Butler, the five-story home has hosted guests including former mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, and once housed politician Charles H. Tuttle, who challenged Franklin D. Roosevelt for governor in 1930, the list says.
