A resourceful Florida developer, frustrated by neighbors encroaching on his vacant land, decided to take matters into his own hands with a bold, unconventional project: building a narrow yet fully functional home on the lot.
Though just 3 meters wide, the house stretches over a 43-meter plot, offering a surprising 145 square meters of living space. Inside, it features two bedrooms, three bathrooms, and even space for a garage. Originally designed to be 4.5 meters wide, the structure had to meet strict building codes requiring clearance on both sides. Despite efforts to amend these regulations, local opposition, including a makeshift garden on the plot, led to the final design’s 3-meter width restriction.
The developer used ingenious design elements, such as bay windows and retractable seating, to maximize the interior space within the tight dimensions. The result? A cozy, practical home that’s already turning heads among potential buyers.
According to the realtor, the house appeals to those looking for the prestige of a million-dollar neighborhood without the burden of a large lot. While the narrow garage poses challenges for parking large vehicles, many residents in the area repurpose their garages for storing items like electric cars, bicycles, or gardening tools instead of traditional vehicles.
