After reading about a 11′ x 7′ flat in London that sold for $335,000, Flickr user Simple Simon used SketchUp to draw up plans for a renovation of the place that would render it habitable. His ideas are pretty clever, though it’s hard to imagine how this former closet could ever be worth $335K.
A flat roughly the size of a snooker table has gone on sale for £170,000 in London’s upmarket Chelsea.
The former janitor’s storeroom measures 11ft by 7ft and has a cupboard place for a shower and kitchenette area.
Potential buyers can expect to fork out an extra £30,000 to make the room habitable as there is no lighting and it is full of rubble.
Even the estate agent selling the property admitted the flat was “incredibly depressing”.
