One of the world’s skinniest houses is for sale, not much wider than the height of the average Australian male.

It is advertised for $US625,000 ($962,426), and is almost 14 metres long and 1.83 metres wide (at its thinnest point). The average Australian male is 1.78 metres tall.
The one-bedroom property has been profiled by world press, with the The Washington Post detailing how the owners – Nady Samnang and his brother Dean – went through 24 architectural plans before city council rubber-stamped the double-storey design of today.
The brothers bought the land in 2021, and worked tirelessly to find a solution to building between two landways, on a limited plot that used to be a driveway – because they like a challenge. It was close to a metro station, and they had already paid for the lot, according to the Post. Construction took 2½ years, and workarounds include a skinny sink and narrow outdoor deck.
“Welcome to The Glick House, where you’ll discover a well-crafted minimalist haven equipped with all the essential amenities,” the listing says.

“Prepare to be astounded by the exquisite finishing touches that elevate every corner of this living space. The ingenious design optimises every square inch, showcasing remarkable efficiency and intelligent use of space. It’s truly remarkable that this compact, approximately 600-square-foot home seamlessly accommodates a living room, spacious kitchen, bedroom, 1.5 baths, and even a deck.”
The house has windows on either side to flood it with natural light, near zero electricity bills thanks to solar panels, banks of timber flooring and a provincial, galley-style kitchen and breakfast bar seating for three.
