The 1,600-square-foot home is 3 feet wide at one end, has 2 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths.

Hope these buyers don’t have any large furniture.


A “skinny house” has gone viral for its rather narrow width -- just three-feet on one end.

The home, which sold Friday in Deerfield, Ill., features an unusual wedge-like layout on a 3,920-square-foot triangle lot. It is known by locals as the Pie House, the New York Post reported, because of the particular architecture, which is 3-feet in width on the small end, but then widens to nearly 20 feet, the Post reported.

“Skinny house skinny house skinny,” the user, eli.korn, who posted the video, wrote multiple times over the video footage.


“That’s not a house, that’s a hallway,” one person commented.

“One gust of wind and it’s all over,” another joked.

Surprisingly, the seemingly lean two-bedroom, 2 1/2-bathroom house actually boasts more than 1,600 square feet, including a finished basement.


The home, which was built in 2003, was listed by real estate agent Alan Berlow of Coldwell Banker Realty. According to a listing on Redfin, the home sold for $260,000.

“The room sizes are actually fairly normal,” Berlow said of the two bedrooms to the Post.

There is one similar to that in my home town.
You see it from the front and think some one built big new house in the area, then you see it from the end and think they forgot the other half of the house.
