Hey Gang. My mom and I lived in this house from around 1965 to the mid 1970s. It looked totally different back then. The basement had a dirt floor and I took it over and had a lava lamp and turned it into a psychedelic dungeon (I was a teenager in 1965). The kitchen was the first room and had a trap door built into the floor that led to the stairs down into the room. Straight ahead towards the back was the darkish dining room. Upstairs there was one bathroom in the middle, my mom's room towards the back, and my bedroom towards the front. I think we had fireplaces in the rooms. The third floor was one giant living room with front-to-back bookcase with a stereo system. I can tell you two stories. The first involves my friend Joel F. He was my roommate at a boarding school. We both dropped out of the boarding school and Joel had nowhere to stay so I told him he could hide out in the basement so my mom wouldn't know. One day, our cleaning and cooking lady put a freshly baked chicken in the fridge and went upstairs to clean. Joel, hungry and smelling the chicken, snuck into the kitchen, taking a quarter of the chicken back down to the basement with him. There was quite a ruckus about an hour later when our cleaning person opened the fridge! The second story is about me forgetting my keys. It wasn't hard to climb up the window grate and into my second story bedroom, so that is what I did. Apparently, someone thought I was breaking in and called the cops. The doorbell rang and when I went to answer it I was faced by about seven cops, three of which were on their knees in the street pointing guns at my chest! A lot of tense explanations and exchanging of IDs occurred before all was copacetic. It was a fun place to live! My mom, a children's book writer even wrote a book about the house: Mr. Skinner's Skinny House. Here's a link to a page about the house on her website (maintained despite her death several years ago) annmcgovern.com/?qatags=mr-skinners-skinny-house Ps.. in 1965 when we first rented it, the rent was $300 a month!

What a great story you’ve given!! Not that I’m interested in buying the place (even if I could!) but rather because it gives some interesting story of the place. And one thing it really shows us, is how the world has gone practically insane! Now, yes, $300 a month rent in 1965 was extremely expensive, your mother must have been doing very well for herself to pay so much. The average home in 1965 rented for $85 a month. So $300 was over 3 times more than the average person was paying. However, that certainly does NOT translate to $5 MILLION dollars today! Not even close. It just goes to show how prices have become insane, and a gap is forever widening between the rich and the average person, ultimately striving towards the day when average folks can’t afford anything but to live squaller. It’s a sad state we’ve allowed ourselves to be put in.

This is far bigger than a tiny house ( of the tiny house movement) there is a lot you can do with this place.

As someone who prefers small spaces, I’d definitely live here. The bathroom is amazing, I love the old beams, the green space is genuinely beautiful, and I’m 5’3” so I wouldn’t have a problem with the lower ceilings downstairs. I think the best way to maximize your limited bed space would be to get some kind of raised bed, the open space underneath it would make the room seem less jammed full of stuff and you could use it as a small seating area. Still, I could never ever justify spending $5 million on this, even if I had that money to to use.

Besides the price, I LOVE IT! Wish there was more of a private backyard, but still, everything is still so useable! I would definitely remodel the master bedroom though, the space could really be utilized better!

They seem to have made a 3 lounge/sitting room, 2 bathroom, one kitchen, one bed house...and the bedroom doesn't have the closet in it, and none of the closet space is long enough for full length coats or dresses. The front room on the same level as the kitchen would be the dining room for mine, downstairs library/music/lounge room, 3 level bathroom and bedroom, fourth would need to be remodelled as well to a functional bedroom and study/art space. I currently live in a narrow, one room to a level, 4 storey back--to-back townhouse and the extra light compared to ours, ventilation, clever stairwell, kitchen on the entry level, and use of convertible furniture would all be awesome - but so would better insulation, proper sealing from the wet in the basement room, room in the bathroom to sit straight on the loo....

For the amount of things in that apartment that still required fixing, updating, or further renovation it is unconscionable that someone would be charging $5 million for that property regardless of what human being lived in it at some point in time. 🤦‍♀️ Whoever buys this house should honestly get a smack upside the head.

The seller isn't "charging" 5 million, he/she is "asking" 5 million. There is a difference, mainly in the fact that it will sell at whatever price a willing buyer and a willing seller agree upon. The other factor is whether there is anything else in the immediate area that can be bought for 5 mil or less.

Beautiful. If I had 5 million I would buy this in a heartbeat.

Why would anyone give that master bathroom for the guest room? The guest room is for sure the master room. Me personally, basement is living room/gaming room, first floor is kitchen/dinning room, second floor, master room/master bathroom and third floor, office/guest room. The guest room would be really nice for a day bed. That way can take nice naps in between working in your office. Either way its beautiful and unique place.
