Do you have a pile of cash and want to buy a piece of New York City history? Well the skinniest home in New York City is available, for an asking price of 2.75 million dollars. The home has been owned by both celebrities and authors and is one of the unique place in Manhattan lore.
At only 9 1/2 feet wide and 42 feet long, the West Village property is not the most spacious, but it does have a charm all it’s own.
“It’s a unique space – one of a kind,” Nicholas said.
Built in 1873, the diminutive house is squeezed between 75 and 77 Bedford St. and has been home to a who’s-who list of luminaries, including anthropologist Margaret Mead and Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Edna St. Vincent Millay.
Author Ann McGovern lived there briefly and the red-brick house inspired her to co-write the novel “Mr. Skinner’s Skinny House.”
Corcoran’s Web site claims that actors Cary Grant and John Barrymore also once called the thin house home.
The interior of the house is only 8-1/2-feet wide and 42-feet long and has a trapdoor in the kitchen floor that leads to a finished basement. via the Daily News.

Wow!! Hard to imagine paying 2.75M for a house that is 9 1/2 feet wide. The trapdoor sounds fun!
