    The previous owner was Mike Oliver, who passed away fairly recently. I have had great times in that house during the 90's. The current owner reminds me a lot of Mike. I'm glad to see the house attracts a certain type of person who can appreciate the unique home!

      @aminy23 Місяць тому

      The Alameda house is 10' deep for the lower level, and extends to 12' deep on the upper level making it slightly wider. Technically it's a wide, but shallow house. It gets 3-4 parking spaces in front at least.

    Just a few suggestions if you haven't done them yet: "The Flintstone House" 20 minutes south of San Francisco. Several Octagon houses in SF. All sort of houses on the Filbert and Greenwich Steps, even the wooden lanes perpendicular to the Filbert Steps. A couple of "Earthquake" houses on the Presidio. There is a lot of history in all of these mentioned homes. Happy Discovery and Exploration!

Great people can now stay there and experience this unique place. See how creative you can be with limited space. Great place to end the year! Oh yes, you need to stay there.

    I've seen much skinnier houses where I live in Japan. I think the skinniest house here is only 6 feet wide! It is because, of course, this country has half the population of America within the land area of California (ie. very crowded).

    In Pasadena on Michigan and E Maple there’s another skinny house. A bit wider that this one. It manages to have a garage and driveway with the house cantilevered over it! So yeah, it’s about as wide as a 1&1/2 car garage.

    There's one in downtown Huntington Beach but I think the actual structure is 12 ft wide, built about 2010; the inside dimension is about 10 ft across. It was on an odd-sized corner lot so it had to get a building code variance (not enough 'setback' from the property lines), but it also has some efficient use of space inside. Top floor (3rd floor) is a bedroom & half-bath with a balcony. Its on a fairly busy corner so not something I would expect to be used as a full-time residence.
