MARY-Kate Olsen has bought at $13.5 million New York townhouse with her fiancé Olivier Sarkozy.

The pair — who recently sold their other house after never moving into it — chose their new property because it is in the somewhat out-of-the-way Manhattan neighborhood of Turtle Bay, reports the New York Post.

The house has a massive 8,000 sq. ft. and includes a ballroom, elevator and five bedrooms.

The previous owner was artist David Deutsch, who had his studio there.

Olsen and Sarkozy became engaged in February and some in the Big Apple are saying their new home is the perfect venue for their wedding.

The couple sold their last New York townhouse because former child star Olsen didn’t think it was private enough.

“Mary-Kate was not happy with the house, it was not private enough for her,” a source said.

“She needs a garage or something with a more secure entrance.”

Olsen has been the subject of increased paparazzi attention since it was reported that she and Sarkozy are engaged and she’s been walking around with a diamond ring worth over $80,000.
