I'm not a fan of very narrow streets for residential housing. People need a sense of space, and narrow residential roads often mean you're overlooked by homes opposite the street. There needs to be enough space between each side of the street so that residents don't feel hemmed in or claustrophobic.
Here is a random Victorian residential street (in a very expensive part of London) that I think has a good scale and width. The road is not too wide, but not too narrow either. Cars are parked on the street rather than in garages; and the houses are of fairly high density too.
