New York City's Skinniest House At 75.5 Bedford Street In West Village On Sale For $3.95 Million (PHOTOS)

New York City's skinniest (according to Curbed) house just got a skinnier price. When last listed in May, the narrow West Village brownstone was going for a hefty $4.3 million. A new listing, however, reveals the apartment going for a slightly slimmer $3.95 million.

The house at 75.5 Bedford Street features "3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a top-of-the-line custom kitchen, a splendid planted garden, 4 wood burning fireplaces, original exposed beams, and a fully finished lower level retreat." And all of it in rooms no wider than 8'4".

Former owners of the building, built in 1850, include "Pulitzer Prize winning poet Edna St. Vincent Millay, anthropologist Margaret Mead, stage and film stars Cary Grant & John Barrymore."

Who will be next? Let's just hope David Schwimmer doesn't buy it only to knock it down.

What's the purpose of the fireplaces? Once you start the thing it will set the whole place on fire!
This brownstone is perfect for a filthy rich 10 yr. old to use as a modern-day clubhouse! LOL.

Flat screens are the only way to go!

Let's hope Rosie O'Donnell doesn't buy it...once she goes in it will take days to sandblast her out.

No room for the kitty litter box. I'll pass.

Whoever buys it will treat it as a vanity property no doubt. Too claustrophobic for the price. Even in luxury NYC terms.

As a NYC homeowner, licensed tour guide and Huffpost reader I must correct your description of 75.5 Bedford Street as a "Brownstone". It is a brick house, with some brownstone elements on the facade. Let's get it right without the cliches.
