413 Pearl St

The future of real estate has arrived. Transcending the ordinary, the buyer of this architectural masterpiece will become the renowned owner of Pittsburgh’s very first Shipping Container Home. This fascinating concept is brand new to our great city, though it has recently gained popularity in the western United States, Carribean Islands, & other regions of the world. Now, we boldly leap into a new age, with the most unique construction ever seen in Western Pennsylvania & beyond. This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath single family home is comprised of six 40X8 high cube shipping containers (new/never used), meticulously craned onto a perfect location in Pittsburgh’s Bloomfield neighborhood, & welded together in near-magical fashion to create an epic house, the true first of its kind, which to date has been visualized only in dreams. Custom designed with natural lighting as a priority, the home features massive energy-efficient windows & real hardwood floors throughout, with a bright & spatially appealing layout that flatters & embraces the most functional usage of containers. The 1st floor allows for a wealth of configurations for your preferred style of lounging, eating, or relaxing, with a succinctly designed kitchen adorned with gleaming stone countersplash & trend-setting appliances. The large 1st floor powder room is convenient for guests & showcases vintage 1970s Forbidden Fruit accent wallpaper. On the 2nd floor, you will find a master suite with multiple spacious closets; luxurious gold themed bath with double vanity, elegant checkerboard tile floor, & marble-infused shower; private bedroom with outdoor balcony for added opulence. A traditional container-style compact bedroom/office/yoga/studio/nursery completes the 2nd floor. On the 3rd floor, you’ll find another full bath with tub, whimsically tiled with geometric theme; as sun shines pleasantly into 2 more bedrooms & a sitting area/reading nook, with spiral staircase directing you to arguably the main attraction - a huge, sprawling rooftop deck, which traverses the entirety of the house, from which you’ll experience panoramic views of Pittsburgh’s many neighborhoods. The deck is ideal for gatherings, yet is private & serene. Parking can be tricky in Bloomfield, but not at this home, which includes a 1-car garage as well as a concrete pad that can serve as an additional parking space, ground level patio, or even a yard. More tremendous components of this home include its all-electric mechanicals, negating all fossil fuel usage, & its conceptualization by a small developer & local architect - all Pittsburgh natives & current residents - which underscores its meaningfulness to this particular locality. The quality of construction & materials are top-notch - take a keen look at the craftsmanship of this new build, & you’ll undoubtedly agree. If you are looking for an extraordinary, unmatched, exceptionally well constructed home, which will never be replicated, then this is the only home that will pass muster for you. But the home itself is just the beginning. Its neighborhood brings a feast to the already bountiful table! Pittsburgh’s traditional Bloomfield neighborhood is ripe with history, & the feeling of authenticity is palpable through its streets. Walk to eateries, coffee shops, retail, & countless more charming businesses - you can take your pick between upscale or laid back, as this part of town has it all. Grab a burger at famous Tessaro’s, enjoy Thai for dinner, imbibe at Lot 17, or vibe at Fet Fisk. Situated ideally in the midst of it all, 413 Pearl St. is LESS than 1 mile from Children’s Hospital & West Penn Hospital.
