According to Zillow, they purchased the lot for $200,000.

Originally, they were going to build a four-story house at double the width, but DC zoning restrictions changed shortly after he bought the land.

“All the materials had to be brought in by hand versus pulling a truck up to the site because it is a very condensed area,” Young said. “There’s a road, but big work trucks can’t come through and it’s a very tight space to work in.”

Although the house is 6 feet wide at its narrowest point, it still has several amenities that you’d find in any modern home.

Samnang told the Post that the powder room under the stairs was an “extreme challenge” because of a DC code that requires toilets and sinks to be at least 15 inches apart. He had to opt for a skinny sink to fit.

Lucky for the future buyer, the skinny home comes fully furnished.

It’s 45 feet long and 10 feet across at its widest point.

The price has since dropped to as low as $570,265 in May.

“It’s probably the most-viewed DC listing in years right now,” Young said.

Investors have taken an interest in using the house as a rental unit for students or as an Airbnb.

“It’s a very popular building,” she said. “I think half the people are ‘looky-loos,’ and half are very interested.”
