ST. CHARLES, IL — A home designed and built with seven massive shipping containers in St. Charles has sold after just three weeks on the market.

The buyers paid $743,000 for 4,000-square-foot home at 828 S. 3rd St. Built in 2018, it was one of the first container homes constructed in the Chicago area, according to media reports. Container homes have since grown in popularity as an affordable option to traditional housing and amid a rising cost in building materials.

The three-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home features 11-foot ceilings and plenty of floor-to-ceiling windows. The home features an open living space and has a spacious kitchen with granite counters and a stainless steel backsplash.

There's a finished basement, second-story deck and private backyard patio. Our partners at Redfin.com have more on this home:
