Famous Skinny House sells for a nice fat price
    2021-09-23  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

BOSTON’S famous Skinny House has sold for a nice fat price.

The home in the city’s North End hit the market in August for US$1.2 million, and the deal was closed recently for US$1.25 million.

The home “received multiple offers and went under agreement for over list price in less than one week,” real estate agency CL Properties posted on Facebook.

The four-story home built in 1862, according to a plaque on the facade, is about 1,165 square feet (108 square meters) — even though it is about 10 feet wide at its widest point and narrows in the back to about 9.25 feet.

It has two bedrooms and one bathroom and includes a private deck with a view of Boston Harbor. The home does not have a front door. Instead, residents enter through a side door.

It was last sold in 2017 for US$900,000.

It is also known as the Spite House, according to the plaque. According to local lore, two brothers inherited some land. When one of them joined the army, the other built a large house that took up most of the land. When the soldier brother returned, he built the Skinny House to block his brother’s view and sunlight.
