Sarah Jessica Parker selling NYC townhouse for 15m

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick are selling their New York City townhouse for £15.4 million.

The 'Sexy and the City' star and the 'Tower Heist' actor have never actually lived in their Manhattan property, which they bought for just under £11.7 million in March 2011, after deciding against moving in following their purchase due to a lack of privacy at the home.

Despite never moving into the Greenwich Village pad, which features six bedrooms, including a master suite that takes up the whole of the fourth floor, the couple stand to make a decent profit if their £15.4 million asking price is met, according to the New York Observer newspaper.

While Sarah and Matthew - who have son James Wilkie, nine, and three-year-old twins Tabitha and Marion - don't appreciate the property's supposed lack of privacy, the abode, which is just off Fifth Avenue, is said to have a top of the range security system.

What's more, the abode features a fifth-floor loft space with the potential to sleep the whole cast of 'Sex and the City', and cold winter months will be a thing of the past thanks to the home's seven fireplaces and hardwood floors.

Potential buyers who are fans of the outdoors will be pleased to hear the townhouse has a tiered garden off the first floor, and there is also a double parlour and 12-foot ceilings throughout the house.
