美国华盛顿市区一个三角形的奇特房子在出售 售价$397,500美金 最窄地方有1.4米宽 最宽前庭是4.5米宽。像一个V型。1925年建造的。 有几个说法解释此房子奇特构造： 1. 夫妇离婚，丈夫得到了房子，老婆只得到了前院。老婆恼羞成怒，在前院造了这个奇特的房子干扰前夫。 2. 以前房主是德国人，去德国期间让别人在他地上造房。回来后发现房子造的过大，愤怒之下造出V型房子抗议。 进入房后，其实空间不感觉狭小。只是在最后面的厨房感觉有些小。    更多图片 原文 http://www.news.com.au/realestat ... q3era-1226746357682 IT IS the house that spite built and now the unusual shaped home is being put up for sale. The Montlake Spite House in Seattle, Washington, is 77 square metres. The back of the house is just 1.4 metres wide and expands out to become 4.5 metres wide at the front, meaning it resembles a v-shape like a wedge or a pizza slice. The home was built on the corner of 24th Avenue East and East Boston streets in 1925 and folklore differs on why someone would build a house so narrow. However almost everyone agrees that it is a 'spite house' - a property that is built with the specific intention of irritating neighbours by blocking light or access to neighbouring buildings. Most believe that the odd structure was built following a bitter divorce proceeding. The story goes that the husband was awarded the house, while the wife ended up with just the front yard. So out of spite she is said to have built the tiny home to annoy her husband. The current owner Lisa Horton, who has been renting the place since 2000, says she heard a different story about the origins of the house. She tells Quirksee.org that she was told the owner went back to Germany and allowed someone to build on his land with his only request that he be left enough space to build his own home. When he returned he was shocked to see that the home that was built occupied most of the land. "Out of spite, he [the landowner] built that funny little pie-shaped home [as a barrier]," Ms Horton said. "It’s the lore. I don’t think there’s any official history of it anywhere." "Some have called it a houseboat on land. It’s whimsical. It makes you smile," she said. "People would leave notes in the mailbox - neat little stories from people [that start], ‘I remember when I was a little girl,’" Ms Horton said. "When I’m out gardening, people would stop and ask questions." The Seattle 'spite house' was built very close to the neighbouring property. Picture: Supplied .A third explanation that is floating around says that the owner constructed the place after receiving a low-ball offer from his next-door neighbour. Once inside the house however the two-bedroom home is actually quite roomy, except for the kitchen where it significantly narrows. It has been listed for sale at $397,500 and is being pitched as a "great condo alternative." |
