Boston's 'Skinny House,' which measures less than 10ft across and was built out of spite during Civil War-era family feud, is sold for more than $1.2 million

• The home sold to a family of four for $1.25million, about $50,000 above the original list price, after roughly a month on the market
• The single-family North End home has 1,165 square feet of space spanning four floors on a total of 0.03 acres
• There's no front door and the main entrance is in a side alley leading straight into the kitchen and dining room
• Demand was high for the property, which went under agreement less than a week after listing
• The deal was finalized Thursday, and square footage-wise the sale price was roughly in line with the local real estate market, according to agency CL Properties
• Legend has it the house was built in 1890 when a Civil War soldier returned home to find that his brother took the inheritance they shared from their father and built a large house
• In return, he squeezed a house between two other properties just to block the sunlight and harbor views from his greedy sibling

Loved the floor plan and the layout of this “Skinny House.”
The cost of real estate in this Boston area is unbelievable. IMHO.
