The phrases “tiny home proposal” and “Inman Park real estate” aren’t typically associated with each other, but that changed this week.

What’s being marketed as a “Charming Tiny Home Opportunity in Inman Park! WOW!” came up for sale Tuesday on a high-profile corner of the historic neighborhood known more for titanic-sized Victorians and Romanesque mansions.

The pint-sized, triangular site in question spans just .1 acres (or 3,267 square feet) where Elizabeth Street meets Lake Avenue.

That’s across the street from the block with the original Savi Provisions store and The Albert pub, with commercial village attractions such as Bread & Butterfly, MF Sushi, and BeetleCat just around the corner.

The new asking price for the land, as listed with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Georgia Properties, is $400,000 even.

Both a “cozy tiny home retreat” and “quaint office space”—or both, combined—are pitched as possibilities for the site, pending approvals.

“This exceptional triangular corner lot is not just a piece of land; it’s a canvas for your dreams,” reads the spiel. “With the possibility of variances, you have the flexibility to create a distinctive living space that stands out as a true gem in the city.”

The property has been periodically listed—for as high as $525,000—since the summer of 2020, but has yet to lure a taker.

Beyond the charming setting and proximity to shopping and eats, the pie-shaped parcel counts easy walkability to the Beltline’s Eastside Trail, with a MARTA rail hub a few blocks away. Which helps explain the strong 91 Walk Score.

Still… it’s all about as niche as niche gets around here.
