Anne Hathaway stars in “The Idea of You,” a romantic story that is set in California’s artistic neighborhoods but was filmed in Atlanta.
Her character, Solène, lives in a beautifully crafted Craftsman-style home that reflects her sophisticated taste in art and design.
This three-bedroom, three-bathroom property, located in Atlanta’s Virginia Highland neighborhood, underwent meticulous renovations to serve as both a film set and a rentable Airbnb location.
Renovations
The production team spent two months refurbishing the home to match Solène’s style as an art gallery owner, even painting the walls to complement Hathaway’s complexion.
The renovations included warm white walls, painted faux wood grain trim, a royal blue dining room, wood beams, custom wood cabinets in the kitchen, Craftsman-era tiles, and window panes.
Features of the Home
Originally built in 1920, the house was chosen for its exterior but required significant interior updates to restore its historic charm and personality.
Additional features include lush landscaping, a poolhouse with a sunroom, a kitchen with marble surfaces and teal cabinetry, and a peach-and-white bedroom with a flowering tree mural wallpaper.
This picturesque location served as a backdrop for the movie’s scenes, offering a glimpse into Solène’s artistic and personalized living space.
Now available for rent on Airbnb, fans can experience a piece of the movie’s magic firsthand in this beautifully renovated home.
