2434 Irving AVE N Minneapolis, MN 55411

I can almost guarantee you've never toured a house like this before. Welcome to 2434 Irving Avenue N, Minneapolis' first shipping container home—a rare opportunity to own a true architectural statement. Designed and built by Paragon Designs in 2021, this one-of-a-kind property blends modern design, industrial inspiration, and everyday livability into something you simply won't find anywhere else. Set on a spacious corner lot surrounded by mature trees, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with thoughtfully designed living space. Massive windows flood the home with natural light, while clean lines, warm wood accents, custom finishes, and exposed container elements create a look that is both modern and inviting. The open-concept main level was designed for gathering, featuring expansive butcher block countertops, ample prep space, and a layout that lives larger than its footprint. One bedroom and a full bath are conveniently located on the main level, while two additional bedrooms and another full bath can be found upstairs. The upper level offers a private retreat complete with treetop views and balcony access, creating the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind at the end of the day. Built with a zero-energy-ready design philosophy and situated on an oversized 8,700+ square foot lot, this home combines creativity, efficiency, and functionality.
