NY's 'skinniest' house has healthy price tag

It's 9 1/2 feet wide and 42 feet long and is billed as the narrowest house in New York City. But there's nothing small about its asking price: $2.7 million (Rs 13.2 crore).

Located at 75 1/2 Bedford St in Greenwich Village, the red brick building was built in 1873, sandwiched between 75 and 77 Bedford.

It's famous for other reasons, too. Corcoran real estate broker Alex Nicholas says anthropologist Margaret Mead and Pulitzer Prize winner poet Edna St Vincent Millay once called it home and is rumored to have counted Hollywood legends Cary Grant and John Barry among its guests.

The three-storey structure boasts plenty of light with large windows in the front and back, and a skylight.

The current owner bought it in 2000 for $1.6 million (Rs 7.8 crore).

"This is a place for someone who wants a bit of history, charm, and, well, uniqueness," said Nicholas. "When you have the narrowest house in all New York, you'll always be newsworthy."
