Slice of Heaven: Illinois “Pie House” Sells for $350,000
In a real estate transaction that has left many scratching their heads, the quirky “pie house” in Deerfield, Illinois, has been snapped up for a staggering $350,000. The wedge-shaped abode, which looks like it was plucked straight out of a children’s fairytale, made waves in the housing market with its unconventional design and equally jaw-dropping price tag.
The property, affectionately referred to as the “pie house” by locals, piqued the interest of potential buyers as soon as it hit the market. With its narrow pointy end and rounded exterior, the house stands out like a sore thumb among its cookie-cutter neighbors. But hey, who needs practicality and functionality when you can live in a real-life geometric marvel?
The interior of the pie house is just as unconventional as its exterior. Due to the unique shape of the building, every room boasts an oddly shaped wall or corner, making furniture placement a fun game of Tetris for the lucky new owners. Want a circular bed or a triangular couch? The possibilities are endless in this whimsical home.
As expected, the sale of the pie house has sparked a mix of reactions from the community. Some see it as a quirky and delightful addition to the neighborhood, while others are left scratching their heads and wondering why anyone would fork over hundreds of thousands of dollars for what essentially looks like a slice of dessert.
Local real estate agent, Susie Sunshine, who brokered the sale, described the property as a “unique architectural gem that appeals to those with an avant-garde taste.” Translation: if you want a house that’s a real conversation starter, look no further than the pie house.
Of course, not everyone is sold on the charm of living in a home that resembles a piece of pastry. Critics have pointed out the challenges of living in a space that defies all notions of traditional home design. “Good luck finding a place to put your square dining table or rectangular TV in that place,” one skeptic commented.
Despite the naysayers, the new owners of the pie house are thrilled to call it their own. “We’ve always wanted a home that reflects our love for geometry and baked goods,” the buyers, a young couple with a penchant for the eccentric, shared in a statement. “This property is our dream come true.”
As the dust settles on the sale of the pie house, one thing’s for sure: in the world of real estate, there’s truly a home for every taste, no matter how unconventional. And for $350,000, you too could have your own slice of heaven in the form of a triangular abode that defies all norms.
