You’ve probably heard by now that the skinniest house in NY is on the market. 75 1/2 Bedford Street is currently listed with Corcoran for $ 2,750,000. The 1873 Dutch row house in the West Village is only 9.5 feet wide. The interior doesn’t look extra cute from the listing, although it may be the terrible snapshot photos. You would think for a nearly 3 million dollar famous home, the agent would make an effort, but no. It is said that John Barrymore and Cary Grant lived here.

Oooh, I just love this one! It’s just soooo European, but it’s actually in New Jersey. Hoboken, to be exact. The octagonal cottage is listed with Liberty Real Estate for $849,000. Not a crazy price, but steep for a single family. Add close to 10k taxes on that and yer done fer. Plus, no parking. But it’s sooooo European!

Gotta say, I’m not really groovin to this one. Listed with Bond for $1,950,000 . It’s kind of like Westchester McMansion meets Superman’s Ice Palace. But it could be fun for a day. I’d imagine light wouldn’t be a problem. The elders in my family have a yiddish word for people who like homes like this. It’s called “galitzianer”, although I’ve always thought it was “glitzyaner”, which would make more sense. You get the picture. The definition of “galitzianer” doesn’t really match, so I’m thinking maybe my family is making it up as they go along?
