The Colorado Springs Real Estate Connection’s Mariana Wagner grew up in New York City. So when interesting real estate sales pop up in the New York Real Estate market, we like to share them, here…

This is an interesting story about the sale of New York’s skinniest home.

“A town house dubbed New York City’s skinniest house has sold for $2.1 million.

The red, 9 1/2 foot wide, 42 foot long brick building in Greenwich Village was built in 1873 on land used as an alley between homes. The town house was listed for sale last August at $2.7 million. The two bedroom, two bath home last sold in 2000 for $1.6 million.”

- MSNBC.com – Sold: NYC’s ‘skinniest’ house, 9.5 feet wide: ‘Edna St. Vincent Millay’ house listed since August goes for $2.1 million

It is nice to learn about this “little” piece of New York history!

Now, the Colorado Springs real estate market has some historical homes and buildings, but since we were only founded in 1871, we will never have as deep of architectural history as New York, which was one of the original 13 American Colonies.

Most of Colorado Springs historical homes are found in the Downtown Colorado Springs real state market and the SW Broadmoor real estate market.

We also have some luxury homes for sale in Colorado Springs and surrounding areas – Homes over $1 Million. Most of these homes can be found in the S/W Broadmoor real estate market and the Black Forest real estate market.
