MARY LOUISE KELLY, host:

Good morning. I'm Mary Louise Kelly. They say size isn't everything. And a house that's just gone on sale in New York would seem to prove it. It's said to be the skinniest house in New York, just 9 and a half feet wide. But the asking price - wait for it - is 4.3 million. That could have something to do with the fact that Cary Grant used to call it home. The house is already something of a tourist attraction in the West Village. And if you're interested, there's a private preview party later today.

You're listening to MORNING EDITION.
