Here’s why Sienna Miller sold her NYC townhouse to move to London

British-American “Extrapolations” star Sienna Miller, 41 — recently photographed soaking up some Saint-Tropez rays with boyfriend Oli Green, 26  — has sold her secret West Village townhouse for $5.3 million.

That’s less than the $5.4 million she paid to buy it in 2021, Gimme Shelter can report exclusively.

She told podcaster Bruce Bozzi that she moved back to London after falling “out of love” with New York City.

The “American Sniper” actor bought the townhouse in late 2021 via an LLC and first listed it for $5.75 million.

Miller, born in New York and raised in the UK, lived at 38 Bedford St. with her 10-year-old daughter, Marlowe, whom she shares with her ex-fiancé Tom Sturridge.

Miller told Bozzi that she fell in love with New York when she was 18 and found it to be a “powerful place.” After years of “nomadic” rental living, she finally bought the townhouse.

But then she was hit with an unpleasant reality. “A week after moving in, I opened the front door to take my daughter to school and there was a human s–t on my doorstep,” Miller said, adding that she “just hoisted her [daughter] over the human s–t and took her to the bus.”

And that — along with the lack of free healthcare and mass shootings — forced her to “reevaluate” her priorities and move back to the UK. 

Miller loves historic homes on both sides of the pond. Her West Village home dates to 1836. She also owns a charming 16th-century thatched-roof English cottage in Buckinghamshire that was profiled in Architectural Digest and that her director friend Gaby Dellal restored.

The New York home is a 20-foot-wide, four-story, single-family property with a garden. It comes with high ceilings, six fireplaces, original parquet floors and shutters. The garden entry level comes with a windowed kitchen, a separate dining area with a fireplace and a sitting area facing windows onto the garden, in front of a second fireplace. The room boasts original wood-beamed ceilings and hardwood floors.

The parlor floor has high ceilings, an entertaining space with two woodburning fireplaces and windows at each end of the room, while a corner area could work as a home office or a guest bedroom. The third floor features two large bedrooms with oversize windows, while the fourth floor houses a main bedroom suite.

The buyer is listed in property records as Olivia Windisch, a French-Austrian, and award-winning, creative director who has worked for designers like Chloé, Tom Ford, Jimmy Choo and most recently spearheaded David Yurman’s creative department, according to her social media. 

Windisch was repped by Compass broker Jim St. André, who declined to comment.

Listing broker Pamela D’Arc, also of Compass, declined to comment.
