ennifer Aniston is said to be eyeing up this luxury penthouse apartment, according to US reports.

The former Friends star was recently spotted touring the $8.75m home in downtown Manhattan.

The "extraordinary" triplex property – which was originally on the market in 2007, with an asking price of $14.5m – boasts five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a landscaped roof garden, 17ft-high ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace.

After it failed to attract a buyer in 2007, it was put back on the market in 2009 – at the reduced price of $9.95m, according to the New York Post.

But it still didn't sell – and has now been reduced again.

The Greenwich Village apartment, next to New York University, also features a hi-tech sound and lighting system throughout, a huge metal staircase, and original steel beams.
