Boston’s famous Skinny House sells for $1.25M
BOSTON – 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 $1.2 million, and the deal was closed Thursday for $1.25 million, according to Zillow.
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 – 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 $900,000.
