  • There are surprising homes in several countries that combine a home's standard function with unexpected architecture. One such unexpected home can be found if you go to Deerfield, a suburb of Chicago. This house is at the corner of Chestnut Street and Hazel Avenue.

    I totally would live here. It does look a little cozy and homey.
    With the way the economy is going in many parts of the world, I’d say tiny or narrow houses like these are the way to go if they can do that in order to slash the price down quite a bit into a much more realistic price point for some to be able to afford.

    Id live in it, yes. But i wouldn't pay that. I could get a house with much more room then that built from scratch and on its own property for less then that in many states. Like va or west va. One of my buddies bought a 5 bedroom house on 8 acres of land for less then 200k in west va. And my brother had a house built from the ground up on a nice size patch of land in va for about as much as the pie house. Granted that was 10 years ago so it would cost a bit more now.

Far better than getting trapped with a huge mortgage for life in a house that should not cost what it costs. Im never having kids, I like my freedom too much, same goes for a girlfriend/wife. Not happening thank you. I dont need a lot of space and only having to walk a few steps to get to anywhere in the house suits me fine.

    Kind of disappointed because the house isn't at all what they advertise it to be or what they say it to be, and it's kind of like Click bait.
    The thumbnail photos only show one end of the house, and of course. It is the narrowest part of the house but most of the house is not narrow at all and that it's disappointing because I wanted to see how they architect did his thing. But apparently it wasn't much to it. All the small rooms are on the small end. And all the rooms where you want space are on the wider end. Not impressed and no longer interested

    The black leather furniture and dark wood grain make the house look cluttered and somber. The tv area is cluttered with “livable space” but is far too claustrophobic and should be reserved as a foyer and limited to dumping coats and keys. You couldn’t pay me to live there. The only saving grace is the high ceilings but even that juxtaposed to the narrow end of the house make it incongruent with no real redeeming value.
