The Montlake Spite House, measuring just 55 inches at its narrowest and 15 feet at its widest point, is a Seattle landmark put on the market for $799,000 exactly a century after its construction. Built in 1925 by a woman in revenge for a divorce land dispute, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom home offers 860 square feet of living space. Its story revolves around thwarting her ex-husband's view, solidifying the houseâs legendary status amid Seattleâs real estate history.
Cangie explained that, "the story goes that she decided to build a house to block his view in the front yard," highlighting the home's vengeful origins.
Legend has it the woman constructed a petite home after she was awarded a tiny portion of property, determined to obstruct her ex-husband's view.
