A suburban Chicago home has become known locally as the “Pie House” because of its resemblance to a wedge-shaped slice of pie.
Built in 2003, on an oblong plot of land in Deerfield, Illinois, 1,122 square feet of the Pie House has become somewhat of a local tourist attraction, with people stopping by regularly just to take pictures of the unusually narrow building. Famous for its unique shape, the Pie House was born out of necessity, as developer Greg Weissman of Advantage Properties tried to make the best of an oblong piece of land only 0.09 acres in size, which is unusually small for the suburbs. Despite one of the walls being only 3-feet-wide, the Pie House turned out quite cozy, and ended up selling for little over $284,000 in 2007.
Photos of the Pie House of Deerfield, a north shore suburb of Chicago, recently went viral after photos of it were posted on Zillow. The owners decided to move and originally listed the property for $339,000, but later reduced the price to $325,000 and $309,000 before taking it off the market for a while. It was relisted in January for $299,900, and according to the Zillow listing it sold last week for $260,000.
