London’s “Skinniest House” On Market For Nearly $1.3 Million

Think you’re house is pretty small? Well, looking at this house, you’ll change your mind. After all, it is titled “London’s skinniest house.”

The five-story house, just six feet wide and covering 1,034 square feet, was once a hat shop, now on sale for £950,000, nearly $1.3 million. Located in Shepherd’s Bush, west London, it got converted originally by fashion photographer Juergen Teller. That’s according to Winkworth, the real estate agent marketing it. Though it might be out of place in London, extraordinarily narrow houses long have been a fixture in countries where land is taxed by width, like in Vietnam and the Netherlands.

“One skinny house, it is,” said Tigger in an interview today. “Though with a price tag of more than $1 million, there’s still something about it that makes it special. There’s the idea of simple living, I guess, as well as the wonders of owning the smallest house in London.”
