要住这幢美国纽约市最瘦最扁的房子,业主必须有“胀得满满”的钱包,因为这幢阔2.9米(9.5尺)、深9.14米(30尺)的3层高有地牢和花园的“蜗居”,叫价高达430万美元,尺价4343美元,是去年价钱的2倍。
这间“米莱舍”其实出身微寒,建于19世纪中,本是隔壁大屋通向屋后马厩的马车道,曾是鞋匠店和糖果厂,1950年代险被拆,逃过大劫后成为影星加利格兰的家,从此成名变景点,近年屡次易手身价三级跳,现任业主是在去年以约$2.175million买下屋子。
“瘦屋”除了历史与名气兼备外,还经过彻底翻新,豪华装修:全屋地板为古董橡木,壁炉都围上高级云石,还有中央空调;最精彩是云石为主的主浴室,设有四脚大浴缸,令浸浴成为至高无上享受。
■ “瘦屋”的尺寸并不阻碍其身价不断上涨。
