NYC's 'Skinniest' House Sells For $2.1M

A town house dubbed New York City's skinniest house has sold for $2.1 million.

The red, 9 1/2 by 42 foot-long brick building on Bedford Street was built in 1873 on land used as an alley between homes. The town house was listed for sale last August at $2.7 million. The 2 bedroom, 2 bath home last sold in 2000 for $1.6 million.

A plaque on the narrow Greenwich Village home notes poet Edna St. Vincent Millay once lived there; so did anthropologist Margaret Mead.

The newly-sold building was listed on real estate Web sites Wednesday as a rental available for $10,000 a month. An e-mail seeking comment from the listed rental agent Wednesday was not immediately returned.

Acorn is going to work out of that building. They are getting lots of money for their work.

What idot bought this for that kind of money or better rent it for that kind of money. I just cant understand you city people and the way you think. All you want is money money money and be stupid about it and pay that kinda price. I am glad I live in the country in the central states. Where peace and quiet is the greatest thing going. I priced one of the small buildings near me in a small town and they will sell it to you for $12,000.00. Plus its older and bigger. LOL LOL LOL

It's unfortunate but that's what you get for your money in NYC and someone will rent it. It looks less than 1000 square feet. It's more affordable to live 45 minutes to a hour outside of the city

In this lovely service sector economy that our wonderful leadership has stuck us with, someone is going to have to put in a lot of extra hours down at the Walmart.
