House 9 1/2 feet wide and 42 feet long

NEW YORK (AP) -- 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.

Located at 75 1/2 Bedford St. in Greenwich Village, the red brick building was built in 1873, sandwiched in a narrow space that used to be an alley between homes at 75 and 77 Bedford.

Yea, thanks for putting up the pics. I read the headline this morning and was having a hard time picturing a "house" of such dimensions. 2.7 Mill is a whole lot of cabbage to spend on an utterly depressing,,,,,,,, hole in the wall . Gpurs...

Your village is still part of an over populated over priced city.

Who would want to live in a crowded, polluted noisy city for that when you could live in Aspen or some nice beach front in California

Yep it's like around here,
there can be 10,000 acres of land available for lots.
No sooner someone Buys a lot Thinking
they will have Privacy. and Build a Home,
the lot Next door goes Next.

Why do People insist on Crowding others ?

Science uses rats in studies and human nature copies the rat. In China, then even honor the rodent with, the year of the rat.
