If this house sells at this price, I'm gonna put mine on the market for 5 million dollars.  This house in Newton, Mass is 251 square feet and is on the market for $449,900.  Two hundred and fifty-one square feet.

It's all about location and Newton, Mass is a hot zip to say the least.  If this place is the most convenient for your life, then maybe the pricetag is worth it.

Here's the description, according to the listing at Hans Brings Real Estate:

One of a Kind! Adorable Tiny Studio Home in Newton Highlands Locale Featuring Completely Open Living Space, New 2021 Kitchenette with Granite Countertop, Completely Renovated Bathroom, New LVT Flooring, Skylit Sleeping Loft with Knee-High Ceiling, Ready to Finish Basement, All New Lighting and Electrical Upgrades, New HVAC Mini-Split, Easy Maintenance Yard, and More.

True enough, it is a unique home and it might be perfect for someone or even a couple who want to be really, really close all the time.  You couldn't really cook in this house.  Not enough ... anything.  Counter space, cupboard space, a place for pots and pans, etc., just not enough.

The place has been all re-done with new everything, so that's nice.

Have you ever been in one of those bathrooms where your knees touch the wall in front of you?  I wonder if it's like that in this bathroom?

The loft bedroom looks really nice.  Big, in fact, but could you stand up in all corners of the room?  It doesn't look like it.

The backyard looks nice.  For Newton, that's not bad at all.  You could live there by yourself and have a small dog, I suppose.  Nice!

The bulkhead means that there is a basement for storage.  Thank goodness for that!  Where would you put your Christmas decorations, winter coats, etc., etc?

I could see if this place is on the ocean, then yes, that justifys the price tag for me.  The way it is now, however, this property is waiting for another owner other than me.

LOOK: Here are the best lake towns to live in

Many of the included towns jump out at the casual observer as popular summer-rental spots--the Ozarks' Branson, Missouri, or Arizona's Lake Havasu--it might surprise you to dive deeper into some quality-of-life offerings beyond the beach and vacation homes. You'll likely pick up some knowledge from a wide range of Americana: one of the last remaining 1950s-style drive-ins in the Midwest; a Florida town that started as a Civil War veteran retirement area; an island boasting some of the country's top public schools and wealth-earners right in the middle of a lake between Seattle and Bellevue; and even a California town containing much more than Johnny Cash's prison blues.
