Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick have finally sold their Greenwich Village townhouse. The home located at 20 E. 10th St. went for $19.5 million.
Times must be tough for the rich and famous. The celebrity couple originally listed the townhouse for as much as $35 million back in 2012. Last year they dropped the price to $20 million and settled for half a mil less than that in the end.

But at least they turned a $500, 000 profit on it. Broderick and Parker bought the house in 2011 for $19 million. That comes to roughly 2.7% profit after 4 years of ownership at a time when people are flipping luxury Manhattan properties for as much as a 50% profit after only a couple of years of ownership.
Reportedly, the two never actually lived in it; even though, they had the house renovated.

The Guest Floor features three bedrooms, The Master Floor is has a terrace, an imported stone fireplace, a hand-carved stone ovular tub, antique tiles, separate sinks, shower room, water closet, and windowed walk-in. The master bath also has its own fireplace.
