Long Island tiny home, just 446 square feet and no bedroom, lists for almost $330,000

A tiny home on Long Island is getting a lot of attention after hitting the market this month for almost $330,000. It also has no bedroom.

The house at 84 Wyona Ave. in Selden is a studio cottage that is 446 square feet. It's about 10 feet wide and 37 feet long and equipped with a small kitchen, dining room, living space and bathroom.

"Litte bit of an anomaly"

Denise Beckman, a licensed associate broker, has been in the real estate market for 40 years and said she's never seen a single-family house like this.

"There's a lot of shows out there that focus on tiny houses, and there's not a lot of them on Long Island. I think it's a little bit of an anomaly," she said.

Although the home is small, there could be room to expand. It has a basement that could potentially be converted into a bedroom with the right permits and safety upgrades, Beckman said.

Tough market to break into

With home prices still high across the region, the tiny house in Selden may not be a bad option for those looking for any way to get into the market. 

"People are making it work, even with those small homes that are there right now, zero bedrooms, one bedrooms, they're looking at the possibilities," real estate expert Mike McLean said.

The median home price in Suffolk County is around $700,000, according to data from the Long Island Board of Realtors. The Selden tiny home is about half that, and annual taxes for it are about $3,700 a year. 

"For that frustrated buyer, they will go anywhere as long as there is room for them to expand," McLean said.

While it may be small in size, the tiny home could be a big opportunity for some buyers to finally own on Long Island.
