'Skinny' house for sale for $4.3 million

A house dubbed New York City's "skinniest" is on the market with a hefty price tag: $4.3 million.

It measures just 9 ½ feet wide, has three-bedrooms, four fireplaces and a lush back yard. It was built in 1873. Broker Bo Poulsen at Town Residential says the last buyer paid $2.1 million for the building in 2009 and put in a million-dollar renovation. The kitchen has Italian marble counters and the master bath opens to a balcony overlooking the garden.
