75½ Bedford St, Historic residence in West Village, Manhattan, United States

The narrow house at 75½ Bedford Street measures only 9.5 feet wide on the exterior and 8.5 feet across the interior space.

The three-story building was constructed in 1873 during a smallpox epidemic, occupying what was previously a carriage entrance to adjacent property stables.

The residence has attracted numerous artists and intellectuals, including poet Edna St Vincent Millay, anthropologist Margaret Mead, and actors Cary Grant and John Barrymore.

The property features three floors with fireplaces, a central spiral staircase, and a kitchen with appliances integrated into the stair base structure.

The building earned recognition as New York City's most narrow house, with interior widths varying between 2 and 8.5 feet throughout its 42-foot length.
