ST. LOUIS – Just down the street from the Crown Candy Kitchen in the Old North St. Louis neighborhood sits a home for sale that’s hard to miss.
A house made of nine former shipping containers stacked on top of each other, “The Container House,” as its known by its neighbors, is up for grabs at $435,000. This unique home was also recently featured on HGTV’s “Zillow Gone Wild.”
The 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home has called 2901 N. 14th Street its home since its construction in 2019 that didn’t take long to complete, according to an Old North St. Louis neighbor, Jessica Payne.
“It was the first shipping container home completed in the city of St. Louis, but also for Old North, it was the first home that we had built in quite awhile,” Payne said.
A bright yellow door welcomes guests into the thoughtfully designed home with art, sustainability, and cost-efficiency at the forefront of its design.
Payne says she remembers the day the shipping containers all came in on a crane and truck.
“It was pretty exciting to see coming down the street, there were a number of neighbors outside just watching what was going on,” Payne said.
