Narrow masterpiece around 6m wide in Freo seeks $4m
It may be one of WA's most narrow homes, but a Fremantle property that is about six metres wide is pulling in multi-million dollar offers.
The property is described — quite aptly — as a masterpiece of engineering and art, with floor-to-wall windows across much of the house offering views over the Indian ocean and Fremantle Harbour.
Marine-grade steel is used on the wave-like exterior in a nod to the sea and area's shipping history.
Perth architect Lou Cotter designed it about a decade ago after being inspired by the Walt Disney concert hall in LA by renowned architect Frank Gehry.
And the result packs a punch much bigger than the 9.5m width of the 376sqm block of land. The block of land the property is situated on is 9.5m wide. Credit: Supplied
The three-bedroom, four-toilet home manages to offer 500sqm of living space area across its three levels.
Water is a big focus of the property, with its infinity lap pool and 220-degree ocean views from the home, as well as the mini moat around one of the bedrooms. A curved wave tub and a ship-shaped sink continues the nautical theme in the house. The living space is spread across three levels. Credit: Supplied The property sits on a 376sqm block of land.

Perhaps one of the most clever aspects of the home is that it offers different moods, from the sunlit kitchen to the darker wood bedrooms and a tranquil library. It includes French oak, jarrah and travertine flooring.
The home has parking for three cars, and is selling through agent Vee Po for $4m. The property includes an infinity lap pool and 220-degree ocean views from the home.
