NEW YORK (AP) - A house dubbed New York City's "skinniest" is on the market with a hefty price tag: $4.3 million.

The town house at 75 ½ Bedford Street in the West Village has been home to the poet Edna St. Vincent Millay, the anthropologist Margaret Mead and the actor Cary Grant.

It measures just 9 ½ feet wide, has three-bedrooms, four fireplaces and a lush backyard. It was built in 1873.

Broker Bo Poulsen at Town Residential says the last buyer paid $2.1 million for the building in 2009 and put in a million-dollar renovation.

The kitchen has Italian marble counters and the master bath opens to a balcony overlooking the garden.

Prospective buyers can see the space at a "private preview party" scheduled for Wednesday.





Or...........

You can move to Mississippi and buy a house like this for less.

Yeah, but it is Mississippi.

Skinny house looks pretty damn nice and I doubt I'd mind the skinniness, but daaaaaaaaaaamn $4.3 mil is nuts.

I don't think I'd want a mansion, I'd eventually run out of uses for rooms.

In the mansion you could raise a dynasty and have them under one roof. A wife, a mistress, a few maids, and you won't have to worry about them finding about each other. Also I'd have the most epic command center and gaming pc collection ever! I'd probably put Lutia's to shame, if only he didn't have unlimited monies.

And Dhil I'm disappointed in your Mississippi Dis Why h8 fren

But yea Mississippi does suck. Any of the southern places really, not Florida though.

would take the nyc place in a heartbeat
