Skinny houses are in

Could you live in a 10-foot-wide house? Hear me out!

What if it had a garage, a really deep backyard for optimal outdoor living in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, and came with interesting features — like a custom dining table?



That’s the case for this skinny home, which was built out of spite because the neighbors didn’t want the house built on a leftover residual lot. It’s available for around $600,000.


If you’d rather buy in the city, you’re in luck. Another 10-foot-wide home built on a driveway in Washington, DC is also on the market for $580,000.



The listing agent told BI real estate reporter Jordan Pandy that zoning laws changed after the developer bought the 0.02-acre property, forcing them to get a bit creative. The result is a modern one-bedroom home that has enough space for a patio.



While both homes are still on the market, these skinny houses are getting tons of interest, especially from buyers who’d rather use it as an investment property or as a vacation home. (And also from annoyed neighbors.)



Whoever ends up living here, they’re in for an intimate experience.
