Sarah Jessica Parker lists townhouse for $22 million

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick are selling their New York City townhouse for $22 million.

The couple, who have son James Wilkie, 11, and five-year-old twin daughters, Marion and Tabitha, have put their five story 6800-square-foot historic home in trendy Greenwich Village back on the market after failing to find a buyer when they first listed it for $25 million in 2012.

The former 'Sex and the City' actress, 49, and the 'Deck the Halls' actor, 52, bought the lavish property for $18.995 million in 2011.

The brick house boasts a doorman, tiered landscaped garden, five-bedrooms, eight-bathrooms, a master floor with a private terrace and a hand-carved stone ovular bathtub, seven fireplaces, lots of built-in bookcases, huge closets and is described by retail estate agents Douglas Elliman as "the architectural and historical embodiment of pristine New York luxury living. "

The couple spent a lot of time and money renovating the property, but according to Variety.com they never actually occupied the house, which was originally built in 1846, and are rumored to have purchased it for investment reasons.

The famous family are still thought to be living in a more modest townhouse in Manhattan's West Village, which they bought in 2000 for $2.995 million.

They also own two ocean-front homes in the plush area of Amagansett in the Hamptons on the South Shore of Long Island.
