Boston’s narrowest house, the famous “Skinny House,” is for sale again. This time, the asking price is $1.2 million.

Carmella Laurella of Boston Realty Advisors-affiliated CL Properties has the listing.

Built in 1890 according to city records, the iconic, 1,165-square-foot “spite house” occupies an extremely narrow lot between two row houses and facing the North End’s Copps Hill Burying Ground. Local legend has it that the builder had inherited only a small patch of land on the street, but wanted to spite his neighbor by blocking his view. Listing photos show it having views of both downtown Boston’s skyline and Boston Harbor from a roof deck that peeks over its single dormer.

Despite the narrowness of the lot, however, the home has three exposures, with the main entrance being down an alley on the building’s side, closed by a decorative iron gate.

To make the most of the 435.6-square-foot lot, the rooms run right through the house, with an open-tread, steel staircase running throughout its three stories. A full-size kitchen with updated appliances, stone counters, a farmer’s sink, custom cabinets and wide-board wood floors takes up much of the first floor, along with a living/dining area that overlooks a secluded back patio via a Juliette balcony.

The well-lit second floor houses a sitting area, laundry and bathroom with custom tile work – one of the only rooms in the house that can be closed off by a door. The third floor holds a guest bedroom equipped with bunk beds, while a master suite and the roof deck’s access ladder take up the fourth floor. An expansive, sunlit, two-level patio rounds out the property.

The property was last sold in 2017 for $900,000, according to public records.
