BOSTON (AP) — Boston's famous Skinny House has sold for a nice fat price.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The four-story home built in 1862, according to a plaque on the facade, is about 1,165 square feet (108 square meters) — even though it is about 10 feet (3 meters) wide at its widest point and narrows in the back to about 9.25 feet (2.8 meters).<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
It was last sold in 2017 for $900,000.<\/p>\n
It is also known as the Spite House, according to the plaque. According to local lore, two brothers inherited some land. When one of them joined the Army, the other built a large house that took up most of the land. When the soldier brother returned, he built the Skinny House to block his brother's view and sunlight.<\/p>\n
