While Broxburn’s all-black property stuns with its moody aesthetic and dark purple accents, Florida’s ultra-narrow home turns heads for its towering defiance of convention.
A bitter land dispute led to a man building a towering 10ft-wide, 19ft-tall house to spite his neighbors – and it’s now worth £500,000.
Developer John Atkins, a resident of Jacksonville, Florida, refused to sell a narrow strip of land situated between two properties, despite repeated demands from his neighbours.
Instead, he decided to make the most of the narrow plot by constructing what’s now known as a “spite house.”
Neighbors were furious, claiming the space was far too tight for a proper home.
But John was determined to prove them wrong.
After initial plans for a 15ft-wide house were rejected by city officials, he came back with an even slimmer design – and regulators couldn’t find any reason to stop it.
The result was a house just 10ft wide and 19ft tall, standing proudly and looking straight into the gardens of the neighbouring properties.
In June 2024, the unusual property was snapped up by new owner Mike Cavanagh for £500,000.
Despite its odd dimensions, Mike is thrilled with his purchase, calling it a “quirky but solid investment.”
Inside, the 1,547-square-foot home features smart built-in storage and custom furniture, including a white oak sofa that Mike says was “pricey but totally worth it.”
While his neighbours might not be fans of the towering house, Mike doesn’t mind.
