NYC's 'skinniest' house sells for $2.1M
[February 04, 2010] NEW YORK (AP) -- A town house dubbed New York City's skinniest house has sold for $2.1 million.
|
The red brick building, 9 1/2 feet wide and 42 feet long, was built in 1873 on land used as an alley between homes in Greenwich Village. The town house was listed for sale last August at $2.7 million. The two-bedroom, two-bath home last sold in 2000 for $1.6 million. A plaque on the narrow Bedford Street 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. |
