The famous Skinny House that is in Boston’s North End hit the market in August for $1.2 million. However, the deal was closed on Thursday for $1.25 million, according to Zillow. 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.

Built in 1862, the four-storey home is about 1,165 square feet (108 square meters), reads a plaque on the facade. The Skinny House is about 10 feet (3 meters) wide at its widest point and narrows in the back to about 9.25 feet (2.8 meters).

Inside the house, the outer walls are as little as 8.4 feet (2.56 m) apart with none being more than 9.2 feet (2.80 m) apart. The home’s narrowest interior point is 6.2 feet (1.89 m) across. It is close enough to allow an adult to touch opposing walls.

The unique piece of property has two bedrooms and one bathroom and includes a private deck with a view of Boston Harbor. Since the home does not have a front door, the residents or visitors enter the property through a side door.

The Skinny House has only five doors, despite having four levels. The second floor houses the living room and the bathroom. It is one of the few spaces that is separated by a door.

In 2017, it was last sold for $900,000.

According to the plaque, the Boston property is also known as the Spite House. Local folklore says that 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.

The house stands sits on top of Copp’s Hill that is across the street from the historic Copp’s Hill Burying Ground. It is also within the sight of Old North Church – both are official stops on Boston’s historic Freedom Trail.
