--America's most luxurious golf homes.

Beautiful blonde Brit actress Sienna Miller has put her posh London townhouse (above) up for sale at £995,000, or about $1.6 million. The starlet, as well known for her roles in films like Alfie as for a heated romance with Jude Law, apparently favors a "Manhattan meets Morocco" vibe judging by the décor at the residence situated somewhere between Marylebone and St. John's Wood not far from her pal Kate Moss' pad, though there seems to be some debate about how posh the location really is.

The house, which boasts both a fireplace and a terrace, features a striking ground floor studio-style reception room with a galleried study area as well as a louche lower ground floor entertaining area complete with a Turkish bath and sauna. The Real Estalker notes that Miller purchased the house 2007 for £1.2 million, or about $1.9 million (at the current deflated rate of exchange) which means that even if she gets her full asking price, she stands to lose at least $325,000 on the deal.
