This (tiny) piece of Boston history is up for sale.
It was built shortly after the Civil War, but no one knows for sure why.
According to Boston legend, a pair of brothers inherited the land from their father. When one left to serve in the military, the other built a large home that took up the majority of the property, leaving just a scrap left over. In retaliation, the returning brother built a tall, narrow home on the property anyway, blocking the light and view to his brothers house.
Whether that’s the true story or not, the house is certainly special. It’s 4 stories tall, but just over 10 feet at it’s widest point. That adds up to about 1,166 square feet, including in 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. It also comes with some great views of Boston Harbor and downtown. All that will cost you $895,000.
Take a look at the listing photos below.
