would u pay $2.7 million dollars for this house? 9 1/2-foot wide home, dubbed NYC's 'skinniest' house, on sale for a fat $2.7 million
FILE - This Aug. 1939 file photo shows the narrow townhouse on Bedford Street in New York's Greenwich Village.

But there's nothing small about its asking price: $2.7 million. Located at 75½ 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 poet Edna St. Vincent Millay once called it home. The three-story 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. Nicholas says it's a place for someone who wants a little history. [Edited 8/26/09 15:36pm] | |

That walk-in closet would have to have the Ark of the Covenant inside for me to pay that kind of money.  Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

It´s not really that expensive considering that it is a very historical building right there in Greenwich Village,NYC. I would have expected a much higher price.
I have seen a similarly skinny house , I guess it was in Amsterdam or Rotterdam.I´m not sure. " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |

If it was in Zimbabwe currency I would.
The thought of interior decorating gives me a headache! Imaging the housewarming party: Drinks coming through! Everyone back against the wall!!!!

I have seen a similarly skinny house , I guess it was in Amsterdam or Rotterdam.I´m not sure. I adore Manhattan as much as the next person, but for my personal tastes I would simply need more bang for my buck. | |

It reminds me of this beautiful apartment/flat/house(?) in Amsterdam. Herman took me around the neighborhoods. I feel in love with this one!
