This little home we’re about to tell you about? It’s more than just clever. It’s cool. It’s sleek. Sophisticated. Stylish.

And the price point is – to our untrained shipping-container-purchasing-and-converting eyes – ridiculously low. I mean, $225,000 for a trendy, new home? Shockers.

Let’s start with the bones on this one. Brownstone Real Estate Group’s Quishana Pouncy talked us through it. It’s actually two shipping containers and a little bit of a house in the middle. Pouncy was a fountain of knowledge, but we’ll get to that in a minute.

The two shipping containers form a two-bedroom, two-bathroom, 840-square-foot living space.  The overall design is super modern and open. The floors are the actual floors of the shipping container, painted and polished. The walls and ceiling are insulated to keep it efficient. Each room has it’s own ductless A/C unit. The kitchen is stocked with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. Aside from the powder-coated ridged metal, you’d never know you were in a twin set of nine- by 40-foot shipping containers.

The investor is a huge fan. He has a three-story shipping container home just down the road in Fair Park, one in Belize, and owns a 10-unit shipping container apartment complex in Belize as well. So … yeah, he’s all in on shipping container living. He purchased ten lots total (including this one) so here’s hoping we’ll have a little shipping container community before you know it.

Pouncy quoted another Realtor when she said this little stretch of Dallas is the final frontier of development.

We’ve pushed out as far as we can and here we are. And big changes are headed that way. It’s called the SM Wright project and it’s a big deal.

Massive structural changes are happening and the end result is an area that has traditionally been isolated, won’t be anymore. By 2023, SM Wright will be “a six-lane, street-level boulevard with traffic signals. Freeway overpasses will be removed, and the boulevard will include landscaping and sidewalks,” the website attests.

If that sounds like something you’d like to be a part of, get in on the ground floor with 5124 S. Malcolm X Blvd. Pouncy would love to show you around.
