• A family booked first-class “apartment” seats for an eight-hour flight.
• Guy Fieri is rucking — and says it helped him lose 30 pounds.
• You don’t need to spend thousands to vacation in an overwater bungalow.
• A couple’s vacation home in Bali is the crux of their early retirement plan.

What if it had a garage, a really deep backyard for optimal outdoor living in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, and came with interesting features — like a custom dining table?

That’s the case for this skinny home, which was built out of spite because the neighbors didn’t want the house built on a leftover residual lot. It’s available for around $600,000.

If you’d rather buy in the city, you’re in luck. Another 10-foot-wide home built on a driveway in Washington, DC is also on the market for $580,000.

The listing agent told BI real estate reporter Jordan Pandy that zoning laws changed after the developer bought the 0.02-acre property, forcing them to get a bit creative. The result is a modern one-bedroom home that has enough space for a patio.

While both homes are still on the market, these skinny houses are getting tons of interest, especially from buyers who’d rather use it as an investment property or as a vacation home. (And also from annoyed neighbors.)

Whoever ends up living here, they’re in for an intimate experience.

One family used their airline points to book the apartments. What would have cost $6,000 per person ended up costing $33 each.

Take a look inside the luxurious suites.

As part of his wellness routine, Fieri said he rucks a few times a week in the hills surrounding his home — and that it’s helped him lose 30 pounds over the past few years.

Check out Fieri’s rucking routine.
