House of the Day: 371 8th Street
This brownstone at 371 8th Street surely has great potential for an intrepid renovator. The 12.5-foot-wide house may be in need of a gut renovation as the listing points out (hence no interior photos), but the exterior is charming and the location is nothing to sniff at. How about that price? $900,000 for 2,250 square…

How about that price? $900,000 for 2,250 square feet of space? That’s $400 a foot before you even talk to an architect. We shall see.

this is one of my fave list of comments.

What I want to know is what greedy 19th century developer came up with the idea of four 12.5′ homes where any other developer worth his salt would have put three 16.67′ homes.
Somehow Edna St Vincent Millay, Cary Grant and Margaret Mead all managed at different times to survive living in this 9 1/2 foot wide house:

I love narrow houses.
Too skinny. Sorry
Noki, sounds splendid.
Noki- I’m looking for handrubbed antique bronze cat faucets. Platinum is a little too nouveau riche for me but the rest of the place sounds wonderful- in an understated way. I may need to add a few things. 🙂

Kens, back off. They won’t accept Mongolian currency.
