Alpharetta is Definitely not Tiny Town

tinyfront.jpgALPHARETTA & TORONTO - A friend from Toronto recently sent me these pictures of The Smallest House for Sale in Toronto.  What do you think?  Could you live in this abode?  There are children’s playhouses in Alpharetta backyards that have more square footage than the 300 square feet of this castle.

I applaud the designer for creating a habitable space within such constraints…and I applaud the photographer who took these pictures.  I sometimes struggle photographing 12×12 bedrooms; this photographer gave new meaning to the term ‘wide angle real estate photography.’

So what would up pay for this dandy?  It’s clean, appears to be well constructed and has some market appeal - sort of like the midgets in the circus do.  How about $179,900 CANADIAN.  Last I checked, the Canadian dollar was worth more than the U.S. Dollar, so round up for sure.

What can you buy for $179,900 in Alpharetta?

I’m glad you asked.  For comparison’s sake, I checked the market.  There are nine houses for sale in Alpharetta and Roswell between $175,000 and $180,000.  I picked the one I thought offered the most value.
