Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick are selling their New York City townhouse for $25 million

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick

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 $19 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 $25 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.

Matthew Broderick's two-year-old twins are "learning to take care of themselves"

The 49-year-old actor – who has son James, nine, and twin girls Loretta and Tabitha with wife Sarah Jessica Parker – believes the couple's daughters are "more self-sufficient" because they cannot always both get attention at the same time, so they have learned to make do.

He said: “It’s kind of sad with twins; they learn to, like, lie on the pillow because you can’t always hold them both. They’re more self-sufficient. They learn to take care of themselves.

"They are really very attached to each other. They’re really cute."

Matthew – who has been married to the 'Sex in the City' star since 1997 – has found looking after twins to be a learning curve, which has seen him gain some "cool" new parenting techniques.

Speaking to People.com, he added: "I’m now used to being unable to give everything the attention it deserves all the time.

“You have to be cool like that sometimes - somebody will be screaming about something and you can’t immediately give it to them. But they get used to it, so it’s sort of nice in a way."

"Ferris Bueller's Day Off"

Matthew Broderick has sent ‘Ferris Bueller’ fans everywhere into a tizzy with a new 10 second teaser clip that has been circulating the Internet.

In it, Broderick puts a spin on a famous line from the 1986 John Hughes’ hit ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.’

“How can I handle work on a day like today?,” asks Broderick as he throws open curtains to what appears to be his bedroom in the clip that has garnered over a million YouTube hits. It also became a top trending topic on Twitter on Friday.

The line switches the word “work” for “school,” mimicking the Ferris’ question in the late 80s teen flick.
