Famed 'Pie House' Sold In Deerfield
The home, also known as "Skinny House," was bought earlier this month for fraction of what buyers paid for it.
DEERFIELD, IL — It's one of those homes that everyone knows when you call it by its nickname. The "Pie House" recently sold for $260,000 according to Realtor.com. The iconic home appears to be no wider than six feet at the east end, but it is larger than it appears with over 1,600-square feet of living space including the finished basement.
According to public records, the home at Chestnut Street and Hazel Avenue was bought by Gary and Jodi Biederer in 2007 for $284,000, which is 8 percent more than what it was sold for on Aug. 6.
In 2003, developer Greg Weissman told the Chicago Tribune "the North Shore suburbs need alternative, moderately priced housing. To me, it's pretty harmless." The village's mayor and trustees at the time, however, were "peppered with complaints that the home is an architectural pie-in-the-face," reporter Lisa Black wrote at the time.
