Deerfield’s “pie house” — the prominent and unusual, wedge-shaped, two-bedroom house — sold in October for its $350,000 asking price.
The 1,122-square-foot pie house, which sits on an oddly shaped, 0.09-acre lot at the corner of Chestnut Street and Hazel Avenue, has drawn national attention — including from “The Tonight Show’s” Jimmy Fallon — for its oblong shape and layout, which were born out of necessity given its small lot size for Deerfield. Built in 2003 and initially met with complaints from area residents, the home has one wall that is just three feet wide and just one bedroom upstairs. There’s another bedroom in the pie house’s basement.
Over the years, however, the house has become accepted in the area — if not outright embraced — for its uniqueness. What’s more, the home now has resold multiple times, and its $350,000 sale price in October comfortably topped its 2021 sale price of $295,000.
The house has 2-1/2 baths, nine-foot ceilings, two hall closets, hardwood floors, a kitchen with new stainless steel appliances, a new refrigerator and microwave, a paver brick walkway and a storage shed. The home lacks a garage but does have a parking pad that can hold up to four cars.
Listing agent Ted Pickus did not respond to a request for comment, and the buyer’s agent, Beth Wexler, also did not respond to a request for comment. The house first had been listed in September and found a buyer in just two days.
The home previously had sold for $300,000 in 2004, $284,500 in 2007, $260,000 in 2020, and $295,000 in 2021.
The house had an $8,014 property tax bill in the 2023 tax year.
