Boston’s Famous Skinny House Is on the Market

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.
