yanked reduced to $2,950,000 in the wake of 250+ comments mocking the ridiculousness of asking $3,495,000 for the 3,100-square-foot pad.) Today’s house of the day at 40 2nd Place is slightly less ambitious at $2,800,000. Still, at less than 16 feet wide and sporting a renovation that feels too “new” looking in that suburban kind of way, we’re not holding our breath about this one getting anywhere close to ask either. For what it’s worth, the 2,300-square-foot house last sold in 2004 for $1,700,000.

I’m just gonna smear some of that coagulated fondue from last night on my croissant if you don’t mind!
Holy hotcakes Batman! 15.8 feet wide! $2.8 million?
latte anyone? how about a croissant?
Yes, yes, 8:58. Very narrow indeed. For this price, I thought the house was surely located smack on the promenade. However, upon clicking on the Google map link above, I realized it is quite far from the river.
could someone please convert the width to metric for me? i’m european.
Gotta get to 300 soon, peeps. BEFORE new threads push us off the page!
To facilitate this, I’m going to bring up that this house seems too NARROW to garner the asking!
Thoughts?
270!!
My asshat is wider than this house.
It’s bigger than a breadbox. Slightly.
