A house in San Francisco with an area of 830 square feet and is considered to be the smallest house with the smallest lot was sold for $665,000, according to a report from Curbed SF.
There were around 300 people during its two-hour open house based on SFGate's report. Listing agent Heather Stoltz said she received four offers but owner Adolph Sutro chose two natives from San Francisco because he wanted them to remain living in the city. Stoltz added that the property could have been sold with a higher price ranging from $600,000 to $750,000. Most of the people who are interested to buy the property are couples, singles as well as artists who want to have a studio space.
Sutro, who was once a mayor of the city, built the house in 1910 from the fortune he got from silver mining. The house occupies 100 percent of the lot. It is a two-story cottage with one bath and two bedrooms. Its entry porch provides access to fresh air. Its interior is coated with white and the kitchen is modernized, integrating countertops of granite. The windows might have been replaced during the '80s while the floors have retained its original hardwood.
The house's current owner is a retired dog walker who has moved to Oregon recently. He has been living in this house for 13 years and has been a resident of San Francisco for 45 years.
One can never look down on this house despite its size because it includes everything one needs such as a kitchen spread out to the living room, a full bath, a utility room located downstairs with washer and dryer, an overlooking view of the Golden Gate Park and many more. According to Stoltz, there might have been other cottages tinier than this but she has not encountered it yet.
