Ryan enlisted architect Joel Barkley and designer Monique Gibson to give the former Cindy Sherman photo studio and button factory a major face lift.
It's the same three-bedroom/three-bath and full-floored pad that was lavishly featured on the November cover of Architectural Digest.
'I know it sounds crazy to most people, the idea of renovating that many houses,' Meg - born Margaret Hyra - admitted to the mag.

'But I love renovating. I think it's tied to living the actor's life. As an actor, you are so rarely in control. You're always saying words that someone else has given you, standing in a room that someone else has designed, to create a reality that someone else wants to see.
'But with decorating I am in control; it's a chance for me to bring my vision into the world.'
The three-time Golden Globe nominee's fifth-floor abode boasts 13 oversized windows, eight closets (rather than a walk-in), seven columns, a media room, and a laundry room.
