Manhattan’s skinniest home has sold for $4.4 million, The Post has learned.

The 152-year-old property at 75 1/2 Bedford Street in the West Village listed for sale in early November, asking $4.19 million. At just 9.5 feet wide, the lithe home stayed on the market for an incredibly narrow window of time, finding a buyer in less than three weeks. And a very appropriate buyer, no less.

A Swiss family — one that’s beginning to collect a portfolio of small homes internationally — secured the iconic residence for more than $200,000 above its asking price.

The red brick townhouse was squeezed in along a carriage entryway.

Marko Arsic and Jason Lau of Corcoran represented the buyers, who purchased the home through an LLC. Beyond that, their specific identities are not known.

The pair told The Post that the family decided put in an offer for this dwelling sight unseen, after coming across media coverage of its November listing.

“The family has always appreciated the history of the West Village and dreamt of owning a small family holiday home in the neighborhood,” the agents said in a statement. The family has always admired small, unique and historic homes, they added. This will be their second tiny property.

“They pride themselves as ‘small home collectors’ and had previously purchased one of the oldest houses in Iceland,” the statement said. “Which also happened to be one of the smallest homes on that island nation.”

The buyers are actively seeking out a design studio and an architect to transform the unique home “to help its reach its full potential.”

The charming, Dutch-style residence, known as the Millay House, is nestled between Commerce and Morton streets. The plot’s diminutive size comes from its past life as a carriage entryway for 77 Bedford, the oldest surviving house in the neighborhood. 

Its roughly 1,000-square-foot interiors feature three bedrooms and two bathrooms across three stories, plus a finished lower level and a rear garden.

The seller’s agent, Cortnee Glasser of Sotheby’s International Realty, was unavailable to comment on the sale, nor confirm whether a bidding war led to an offer far above the asking price.

Glasser described the Millay House as bright, light and European.

“There’s nothing claustrophobic about it,” Glasser previously told The Post.

Past reports place the home’s interior width at roughly 8½ feet.

Original details of the circa-1872 property — including four woodburning fireplaces, wood-beamed ceilings and oak flooring — have been lovingly maintained through the years, but a series of owners have put their own unique stamp on the home.

The slim spread was leased by a consortium of artists in the 1920s, many of whom were involved with the nearby Cherry Lane Theater. The likes of Cary Grant, John Barrymore and poet Edna St. Vincent Millay were among its tenants.

Millay, for whom the home was nicknamed, rented the property in 1923 and 1924. The poet installed a skylight on the topmost floor, which served as Millay’s writing retreat crafting her Pulitzer Prize-winning collection “The Ballad of the Harp-Weaver.”

Its most recent owner, Dr. Tandra Hammer, paid $3.41 million for the home in 2023, according to city records.

Hammer used the home as a pied-à-terre, while her daughter lived there much of the year, the New York Times previously reported.

Calarco told the Times that the pair, both real estate investors, were ready for their next project.

The mother-daughter duo’s brief occupancy at Millay House saw improvements like closet upgrades, electrical work and “a lot of TLC into the garden,” Glasser previously told The Post.
