A house in Chicago has left people completely perplexed as it seems way too "skinny" for somebody to live in. If you've gone through the utter stress that is moving house, you'll understand that sometimes it's best to settle for less than your dream home. That doesn't mean that you can't spend time renovating and turning it into a forever home but having a property immediately tick all the boxes is pretty rare. But one thing that is usually for certain, is that a house will look like... well... a house. One property in Chicago has left people in utter disbelief due to its size, as from the front it looks pretty normal, but when you venture around the side the secrets are revealed. More on the house below: [[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/zfQ7yxYr-Q0L14jDU.mp4||zfQ7yxYr]] Aptly named "the pie house", the property is extremely skinny, looking more like a corridor posing as a family home. The home is located on a 3,876 sqft plot of land in Deerfield, but its dimensions are pretty baffling. As per the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8627753/Skinny-house-measures-just-THREE-FEET-one-sells-260-000-Illinois.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Mail</a>, the home holds two bedrooms and three bathrooms, but one side of the home measures just three feet. The home is shaped like a wedge, or a slice of pie as per the nickname, and at its largest it stretches to about 20 feet. The property offers 1,600 sqft of living space and it includes a fully finished basement... are you sold yet? A TikToker who goes by the name of Eli went and visited the house to give everyone a closer look at the exterior, and he was pretty spot on when he referred to it as the "skinny house". Viewers of the video were left completely baffled at what they were seeing, and quickly flocked to the comments to pose the questions on everyone's mind. One person questioned: "But like...how do the stairs work? Are they just an entire corner? Are they spiral? Is it just a LADDER?" A second added: "How does someone live there," while a third said: "WHATS INSIDE I WANNA KNOW." <img class="size-full wp-image-1263211503" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-14-at-15.30.52-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="2560" height="286" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] <img class="size-full wp-image-1263211504" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-14-at-15.32.06-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="2560" height="255" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] <img class="size-full wp-image-1263211505" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-14-at-15.38.12-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="2560" height="254" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] According to the <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/real-estate/ct-re-deerfield-pie-house-airbnb-tt-1014-20201014-f6ekwja7rzex5ozvnobskc66pm-story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chicago Tribune</a>, when the home was built it was met with a lot of backlash from residents who didn't like the design - but the designer simply wanted to make good use of space. Well, it would seem that this house is more than meets the eye! <h6>Featured image credit: PhotoMIX Company / Pexels</h6>
