A home in Deerfield, Illinois is dubbed as the “Skinny House. ” But if you’re an avid TikTok user then you probably already know this. It’s known to locals as the “Pie House”. TikTok named it so because one of its sides measures only 3 feet wide.

The house gained fame after it was shared online by TikTok user @eli.korn_.

“Skinny house skinny house skinny house,” he wrote multiple times over the footage. The home’s slim exterior baffled viewers, leaving them with a lot of unanswered questions.

“How does someone live there?” one commented. “But like…how do the stairs work? Are they just an entire corner? Are they spiral? is it just a LADDER?” another wrote.

“One gust of wind and it’s all over,” someone joked.

The Pie House is not that skinny at all.

It’s built on a 3,876-square-foot triangle lot and extends to about 20 feet in width. The home has over 1,600 square feet of living space and comes with everything a typical house has.

We’re talking two bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, and a finished basement.

Since his first post went viral on TikTok, @eli.korn_ shared more videos showing the wider part of the structure’s exterior.

Realtor Alan Berlow of Coldwell Banker Realty sold the home for $260,000. He says that the house’s skinny end is where storage and one of the bathrooms are situated. Alan also explained how the home got its local nickname.

“It’s shaped like a piece of pie. Also it’s a ‘slice’ of history in Deerfield, an area in the famous North Shore of Chicago,” Berlow said.

The original owners had to fit the entire home on just 40 percent of the lot when they built the home in 2003. This is to comply with an ordinance on the Village of Deerfield. Houses built in the area must allow space between homes and roadways.

“The space and how it’s distributed through the home is certainly nontraditional but it works. The home was built specifically for the size of the lot and it’s far more functional than it looks,” he added.

The interior looks incredible as well! Good thing then that the house is listed on Zillow, where curious folks can look at several pictures of the inside.

An open floor plan on the main level is set with hardwood floors. There’s a decent-sized bedroom, a clean and modern kitchen, and a beautiful living room space. What more do you need?

The bathroom facilities are fantastic, and the house maintains its classy and minimalist decor inside and out.

The Pie House got a lot of attention online, but Berlow says he isn’t surprised by this at all.

“It’s so unique and it’s a very well-known home in the community,” he said. “As far as some of the viral videos on TikTok, it just goes to show the curiosity of real estate flows through all generations, and we’re excited they are putting their own brand of creativity on it.”

It just goes to show the influence and power social media has.
