An astonishing three-story house nestled in the heart of Hanoi boasting a mere 1-meter-wide facade while spanning across 30 square meters is now on the market for 6.5 billion VND ($250,000). The property’s allure stems from its enviable location on a lively street, though potential buyers may need a discerning eye to locate its entrance.
A tour guided by real estate agent Quang in Dong Da district unveils a 30-square-meter gem with just a 1-meter frontage, snugly positioned on Xa Dan Street. Priced at 6.5 billion VND, approximately 217 million VND per square meter, the offer includes all legal documentation and basic furnishings, ensuring the property’s legality is beyond question. The revamped three-story house once utilized for a small business now awaits a new owner.
Obscured between towering structures, the house’s slender entrance, inconspicuous to passersby, poses a challenge in locating, as shared by Mr. Kien, the neighboring café owner. A puzzling phenomenon for visitors who often navigate multiple rounds to pinpoint its position due to its inconspicuous nature.
Remote ownership confines the property to sporadic viewings arranged by the agent through a local caretaker. Internally, the house remains barebones with no interior furnishings, embodying a rudimentary construction phase.
The unique L-shaped house unfolds with a 1-meter-wide frontage, a vestige of earlier times. The layout optimizes the limited facade by featuring a direct corridor leading into the house followed by an expanded area for the staircase and living spaces.
With a total floor space of 30 square meters, each floor boasts a fully equipped bathroom, offering essential amenities. Despite being on the market for an extended period at the current price, the property awaits its prospective owner.
“The house’s value transcends its size or visuals but emanates from its strategic positioning on a vibrant street within a flourishing locality, ideal for commercial ventures,” elucidated Quang, dismissing skepticism surrounding the property’s commercial viability owing to its slender dimensions.
