Jessica Chastain has spent $1.4 million on a New York City apartment.

The 36-year-old actress' new home in the Big Apple's Greenwich Village - a largely residential neighbourhood on the west side of Lower Manhattan which contains a number of celebrity pads - boasts a two-bedroom and two-bathroom loft duplex.

One of the two very spacious bedrooms feature huge double doors and the other has three large windows and high ceilings.

The large living room has vaulted ceilings with spotlights, ample space and a wood-burning fireplace.

The modern apartment also has a separate open dining area which sits beside a spiral staircase that takes you to the next floor.

According the Daily Mail newspaper, she signed for the property in September 2012 which also features 24-hour doorman, bike room, roof deck and courtyard in her building.

The red head landed the Yves Saint Laurent Beaute fragrance campaign - which has previously features big names like Kate Moss and Emily Blunt - in June 2012 and the fragrance was released in August 2012, a campaign which is believed to have helped her earn millions.

Jessica was praised by Stephen Bezy, general manager of Yves Saint Laurent Beaute at L'Oreal Plus, when her first campaign hit billboards in August 2012.
