It must have been love but it’s over now, as Pretty Woman decides to part ways with her New York penthouse. Julia Roberts’ Greenwich Village apartment has hit the market for $4.5 million. The Hollywood star had purchased the 2,000-square-foot co-operative in the summer of 2010 for $3,845,000. Located at 45 West 10th Street, a postwar building between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, the U-shaped, two-unit combination is currently configured with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Walnut color wood flooring runs throughout the apartment that includes a generous 25-foot long foyer with two convenient coat closets and an especially roomy multi-purpose main living space that stretches nearly 53 feet.

The central living room space is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and is flanked by a lounge and a dining space. All of these open to a 50-foot terrace which offers unobstructed views of the Empire State Building as well as the One World Trade tower and everything between them. The windowed kitchen features graphic black and white striped floor, a two-stool snack counter and high-grade commercial-style stainless steel appliances.

The larger of the two bedrooms, well separated in opposite wings for optimal privacy, each have an en suite bathroom. One of them opens to a small private terrace.
