These expensive homes usually have a handful of rooms and even more bathrooms.

However, as the cost of living continues to rise, people can't even afford a more down-to-earth, simplistic home, never mind a mansion.
People are having to settle for what they can get, but would you be able to live in a house that wasn't even 1m wide?
Guinness World Records has proclaimed the Keret House the world's 'skinniest free-standing' house.
The house is located in Warsaw, the Polish capital, and measures 91cm wide; 152cm at its widest point.

Architect Jakub Szczesny created the brilliant, slightly dystopian building and explained in one interview that he thought of building this house after seeing the gap between two buildings.
It led him to wonder if anyone could live there.
It started with the space. I started to think who could live there," he continued. "It had to be a person that would like to be a hermit, someone who would like to spend time alone doing something, but doing what?
Would anyone want to live there?
Szczesny officially registered the building as an "art installation" to get around certain building codes.

This means that no one is allowed to stay there for an extended amount of time but it is a space for travelling creatives to rest their heads.
The house has three floors and features a single bed, kitchen, bathroom, dining area and a "living room" with one beanbag.
You can also only access the house through a ladder to the first floor.
Szczesny named the house after writer Etgar Keret. Keret was also involved in the house's creation and was the first to stay there.
Keret referred to the home as a memorial to his family, as he had lost family members from both his parents' sides who were killed in the Holocaust.
Unfortunately, don't put this on your sightseeing list as it is not currently open to the public.
