(Top) Julia Roberts and Holly Hunter: House deal

Actor Holly Hunter, who is expecting twins, is moving from a two-bedroom apartment in a Greenwich Village town house to a more family-sized four-bedroom unit nearby on Fifth Avenue.

Hunter bought the Fifth Avenue apartment in October from another actor, Julia Roberts.

Roberts’s apartment, which she owned through a trust, was listed for $4.995 million with James D. Rosenthal, a broker at Prudential Douglas Elliman.

Rosenthal described the 3,000-square-foot apartment in an online listing as “a magnificently restored and updated Edwardian palace”.

The listing said the apartment had lots of original woodwork and a formal dining room.

Hunter, who is in the film Nine Lives, has said through her publicist that she is due to give birth to twins early next year. The father is her companion, Gordon MacDonald, a British actor.

Hunter’s two-bedroom apartment, in a 27-foot-wide town house cooperative, was listed at $3.2 million.

Marcy Engelman, the publicist for Roberts, who is also a mother of twins, refused to comment. Hunter’s publicist, Nicole Caruso, refused to discuss her real estate deals.

Quaid double bill

Dennis Quaid, who co-stars with Rene Russo in the remake of the comedy film Yours, Mine and Ours, and his wife, Kimberly, have purchased a Pacific Palisades property for about its asking price of $6 million.

The house is next door to the one they bought last July. This time, they purchased an acre-plus property that has two 2,600-square-foot houses and a meditation garden.

Like their other property, the one they just bought is zoned for horses, but there is more room to keep them and better access.

The parcel comes with a road and a bridge as well as a year-round stream.

The house they purchased in summer for nearly $8 million is a newly built, 8,400-square-foot home on slightly less than an acre. The Quaids intend to keep both properties.

The seller is Geraldine Clark, widow of actor Dane Clark, a contract player with Warner Bros in the forties and fifties who co-starred with Humphrey Bogart and Cary Grant.
