A house this small and strange-looking would be interesting on its own, but local legend says the reason it exists is pure spite. Known as the Montlake Spite House, this pie-shaped Seattle house is only 830 square feet and was recently for sale for $397,500. Why would anybody build a house like this? The widely accepted story is that a neighbor offered to buy the small corner lot from the property owner. The lowball offer he made was so insulting that the owner built this house on the lot just to annoy his cheap neighbor. Is that what actually happened? There's some debate there, but why let that get in the way of a good story?
