Intersecting subsets of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$

Question

Is there $n\in\mathbb{N}$ and a collection ${\cal C}$ of subsets of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ with the following properties?

1. $|{\cal C}| = n$,
2. $|c| > 1$ for all $c\in {\cal C}$,
3. $c\neq d \in {\cal C} \implies |c\cap d|=1$, and
4. $\big|\{|c|: c\in {\cal C}\}\big| > 2$.

Answer 1

No, there isn't. This is essentially the dual version of the De Bruijn-Erdos theorem if the elements of $\mathcal C$ are the points, and the elements from $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ are the lines. The original proof is here.
