BOSTON (AP) – Boston’s famous Skinny House has sold for a good price.

The town’s North End home went on the market in August for $ 1.2 million, and the deal was closed Thursday for $ 1.25 million, according to Zillow.

The residence “Received several offers and made a deal for a higher than list price in less than a week,” real estate agency CL Properties said on Facebook.

The four-story house built in 1862, according to a plaque on the facade, measures approximately 1,165 square feet (108 square meters) – though it is about 10 feet (3 meters) wide at its widest point and tapers at the rear for approximately 9.25 feet (2.8 meters).

It has two bedrooms and one bathroom and includes a private patio with views of Boston Harbor. The house has no front door. Instead, residents enter through a side door.

It was last sold in 2017 for $ 900,000.

It is also known as the Spite House, according to the plaque. According to local tradition, two brothers inherited land. When one of them joined the army, the other built a large house which occupied most of the land. When the brother soldier returned, he built the skinny house to block his brother’s view and sunlight.
