A miniature home in Mamaroneck known as the “Skinny House” has hit the market for the first time in 35 years, LoHud reported. The 533-square-foot home, which has one bedroom and one bathroom, landed on the National Registry of Historic Places in 2015. Nathan Seely, one of New York’s first African American home builders, constructed the home in 1932 after he lost his business and his own home during the Great Depression. Seely’s granddaughter, Julie Seely, wrote a 2011 screenplay about the home and recently published a memoir about the property and her family. The Skinny House’s current owner, Nancy Picarello, is seeking $275,000 for the home at 175 Grand Street. “We felt it was time to let it go in hopes that someone would buy it and take care of it and love it as much as we do,” she told the DVP. The home has high ceilings, “lots of natural light, a separate basement and “clever built-ins throughout,” according to the outlet. Houlihan Lawrence’s Paulo Guerra has the listing. [LoHud]
