THIS HOUSE IS EXQUISITE, I'D LIKE TO MAKE AN OFFER



Who says the housing market has collapsed?

Measuring in at 9 1/2 feet wide and 42 feet long, this is the narrowest home in New York City and it's on the market for $2.7 million. For all you history buffs out there, this was also the home of Edna St. Vincent Millay.

Edna is the author of the poem "A Few Figs From Thistles," from which the infamous line "my candle burns at both ends" comes from. She was also the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize (1923) for "The Harp-Weaver, and Other Poems."

Anthropologist Margaret Mead lived there, as well (not at the same time, of course).

Located at 75 1/2 Bedford Street, this West Village home is just up the street from the "Friends" apartment building (Bedford and Grove).
