Live Uncontained In A Container Tiny Home

South of Chicago in Urbana, Illinois is a luxury hand-built, 40’ former shipping container turned tiny home. The outside of the home is painted a svelt black with a faux roofline added to give shape and interest as well as to help with the drainage of rain and to prevent snow buildup. It extends beyond the edge of the house to give a nice awning as well. The cargo doors are still exposed both externally and internally so as to give the new owner the ability to expand the house or seal it off. It also makes for a neat way to have the house open up to the great outdoors!

Starting at the rear of the house (closest to the cargo doors) there is a walk-in closet with two shelves and room for a hanging bar. The inside of the house is clad in a number of wood species including Ambrosia Maple Wood walls, Beetle kill blue pine wall (and in the bathroom), and Walnut trim and window sills. Just before the closet is the bedroom area which has custom Walnut shelving, a brand new Envi convection heater, and a flat-screen TV mounted on the wall. Just above where the bed rests is a window for natural light and airflow. The bed itself is a custom build with pneumatic pistons so the mattress rises up revealing storage in the bed framing.

The entry of the home is actually a sliding glass door which not only makes for an inviting point of entry but also allows in ample natural light. Directly across from the front door is a metal wall section that is already designed for a wood-burning stove. Most notable about the house throughout though is the brand new, professionally laid gauged slate floor.

The kitchen is plumbed and has electricity so as to be ready for any layout you may desire. It has a 220-volt outlet and a gas tube for propane-powered appliances. The water inlets are PEX and there is a drain hole in the floor. There is also a corner outfitted for a 24” tall, skinny fridge, perfect for this size home. Across from the main kitchen workspace is a beautiful set of shelves fashioned out of wood and galvanized plumbing pipe. The countertops for the kitchen areas are cut and ready for installation and come with the sale of the tiny house.

The bathroom end of the house is sectioned off by a hand-made barn door made of Ambrosia Maple and on a flat black set of barndoor casters. While the bathroom is little more than a room it is rough plumbed for a shower stall and composting commode. The short wall has a large glider window and the flooring is square mosaic tiling. The bathroom also has an Envi heater to supplement heat at this end of the house. The hot water is provided by a brand new Takagi Tankless hot water heater. The bathroom vanity and sink come with the sale of the house and all of the trim throughout the house is available as well. Also in the bathroom space is a 100-amp electrical panel with full racks of breakers and labeled appropriately.

This tiny house may not be turnkey but it is outfitted beautifully and ready for your personal touches. At just 25,000 it is a bargain and will make such a lovely home. If you’re ready to live in luxury but live uncontained, call 843-417-9157 .
