Michelle Williams is selling the home she shared with the late Heath Ledger.

The 34-year-old actress and her fiance bought the six-bedroom mansion in Brooklyn for US$3.6 million ($4.1 million) back in 2005.

The home, where Williams lived with her daughter Matilda Ledger after the Perth-born actor's death in Manhattan in 2008, is reportedly on the market for US$7.5 million.

Boasting 3.6m-high ceilings, a landscaped roof deck and a three-car garage, the mansion is in Brooklyn's fashionable Boerum Hill neighbourhood.

Williams and her daughter are now based in Los Angeles.
