Anne Hathaway’s primary residence is a Southern California home that made its Architectural Digest debut in 2019. Hathaway shares the property with her husband, jewelry designer Adam Shulman, and their two children—with a third on the way. The Oscar winner has spent considerable time away for work in the past year, starring in five 2026 films, including Mother Mary, The Devil Wears Prada 2, and The Odyssey. Shulman “holds it down” at home, according to Hathaway, who told People in April that her husband stepped up in every possible way during an unusually busy period. She described him as “the most extraordinary person I’ve ever met.” On rare days off, the actor maintains a cozy routine, including reading the paper delivered daily and cuddling with a new puppy.
Before settling in Ojai, Hathaway and her then-boyfriend Raffaello Follieri rented a five-bedroom duplex in Midtown Manhattan’s Olympic Tower in the mid-2000s. The $37,000-a-month dwelling, built in 1976, was Manhattan’s first all-glass tower and featured walls of glass, a movie theater, and five en suite bedrooms. The stay came to a dramatic end around 2008 when Follieri was convicted of fraud and sent to prison; Hathaway’s personal diaries were even seized by the FBI as part of the case.

Hathaway and Shulman, who married in 2012, picked up a $4.1 million apartment in Dumbo’s Clocktower Building in February 2013. Reportedly, the couple never moved into the 2,592-square-foot loft, using it primarily as a dressing room. The two-bedroom unit featured a primary suite with numerous closets and a combination library and media room. They listed the property for $4.5 million a few months later but de-listed it before trying again the following year. It officially changed hands in October 2014 for $4.33 million, according to records.
The couple made their way out west in 2014, reportedly purchasing their current home in Ojai, California, for $3.6 million. Spanning 3,400 square feet, the Swiss chalet–style structure hosted four bedrooms and four bathrooms when purchased. They also bought an adjacent plot of land and hired AD100 designer Pamela Shamshiri to renovate the dwelling, which was originally built in 1906 (it burned down and was rebuilt in 1917). Shamshiri pulled design references from Yves Saint Laurent, David Bowie, Wes Anderson, and even Rihanna’s 2015 Met Gala look.

Shamshiri appointed the chalet with a dreamy music room, complete with a disco ball, a piano, and plenty of space for lounging. “This room has been a long-held fantasy of ours—a place where the people we love can gather and our musician friends can play. It’s the heart of the house,” Hathaway told Architectural Digest. Other highlights include a pink primary bedroom, a wood-paneled living room with exposed beams and a stone fireplace, a windowed breakfast nook, and a pergola-topped terrace with an outdoor fireplace. “This is a place that balances the needs for isolation and community,” the Idea of You star said. “When I have to concentrate intensely on a project, I can escape from the distractions of the outside world and find inspiration in the glorious mountains and the birds singing in the thicket. There’s music inside and out.”
While the star often retreats to this property to work, the arrangement presents a practical challenge for a family. With multiple children and a spouse who maintains a business, maintaining a sense of normalcy requires constant communication and a willingness to adapt to a non-traditional work-life balance. The home, with its emphasis on music and gathering, becomes the anchor for these scattered schedules, offering a rare moment of stability amidst the constant travel required by modern film production.

Two years after selling their Dumbo apartment, Hathaway and Shulman bought a new homebase in their native New York City. They paid $2.55 million for a 1,200-square-foot penthouse in a 1904-built neo-Georgian row house on Manhattan’s Upper West Side in early 2016. With two bedrooms, a private terrace, skylights, and 18-foot-tall ceilings, the co-op unit provided a sunny space to stay in the Big Apple. The couple renovated the dwelling before putting it back on the market in February 2020 for about $3.5 million. Per records, the penthouse finally sold for just under $3.5 million in June 2021.
In November 2017, Hathaway added a home in Connecticut to her real estate portfolio. The Interstellar star and Shulman paid $2.8 million for a 1920s Colonial-style house in Westport, which had five bedrooms and six bathrooms across 4,500 square feet. The residence was situated on one acre with a romantic English garden, a barn, an attached guesthouse, and a saltwater swimming pool. When the pair sold the picturesque property just a year later for $2.7 million, it was reported that they still owned another home in the area, though details are unknown if that remains the case.
