Selling Denver real estate, I run into small lots all the time. Often I wonder why or rather what anyone could ever build on this tiny, little lots. Well just by chance I came across a blog post about Cramped City Living: 10 of the Narrowest Houses in the World.
There is a house in London, England that is just 5 feet at it’s narrowest and 10 feet at its widest. If that’s not hard enough to believe, get this, it sold for nearly $1,000,000!
I looked at the house Helenita in Brazil designed. It’s 9 feet wide and 30 feet tall. I chuckled thinking it looks like a slice off of a real building! No not even a slice, more like a “sliver.”
The last house in the post, the one located in Osaka looks quite normal from the broad view. Then seeing it’s frontage, I wonder how people manage walk about inside. They must sleep on a shelf like a Murphy bed and tuck it away when awake.
Denver has some small places, but to my knowledge I don’t think we can compete with any of the top Narrowest Houses in the World.
Let me know if that’s not true…ok?
