When I Think Of Narrow Houses,

a squashed house, 


say 6 or 7 feet wide between other buildings come to mind, not just a few feet deep!, but the pie house is, photographs Zillow, as it happens that pie house is only 3 feet deep at one end, opening up to 25 feet at the other, the Pie House was born out of necessity, as developer Greg Weissman of Advantage Properties tried to make the best of an oblong piece of land only 0.09 acres in size, which is unusually small for the suburbs. Despite one of the walls being only 3-feet-wide, the Pie House turned out quite cozy, and ended up selling for little over $284,000 in 2007,

 
“It is different than any other house that’s built in Deerfield,” listing agent Alan Berlow told The Chicago Tribune. “It attracts attention from many walkers and bikers. Commuters walk by and drive by every day, as it’s across from the parking lot. It’s an alternative to a town house without having the maintenance fees.”

the one-storey Pie House features two bedrooms – one upstairs and another one int he fully furnished basement, two and a half bathrooms, and an open space ground floor. For obvious reasons, it lacks a garage, but does have a parking pad that can hold six cars, well that has put my idea of a narrow house into perspective!
