NYC's 'Narrowest Home' For Sale In Greenwich Village: Report

GREENWICH VILLAGE, NY — A Greenwich Village townhouse that recently was put on the market has one very special distinction. It's not the biggest, not the smallest, not the cheapest, not the most expensive, but is considered the skinniest home in New York City.

The townhouse at 75 1/2 Bedford Street is only nine feet six inches wide — and while there is some debate over other NYC apartments being skinnier — the Greenwich Village home has gained enough notoriety from the claim to solidify its title as the narrowest.

The home was recently put on the market for $4,990,000, according to 6sqft.

Built in 1873, the three-story townhouse even has its own Wikipedia page. The inside of the Greenwich Village home is made up of three bedrooms, two balconies, a patio, and a basement.

The home has a long list of famous residents, including the legendary actor Cary Grant and the poet Edna St. Vincent Millay.

According to a 2013 article by Curbed, the townhouse was purchased in the same year by real estate investor George Gund IV for $3.25 million. The previous owner purchased the home for $2.175 million in 2010.
