FIRST PERMITTED 3D-PRINTED HOUSE HITS THE MARKET FOR $300K

/0 Comments/in /by

SQ4D, a construction technology company from Patchogue, New York, has listed the first 3D-printed home for sale in the United States. It received a certificate of occupancy and is listed on MLS as new construction for $299,999.

The quaint home features over 1,400 square feet of living space, plus a 750-square-foot garage on a 1/4 acre. It includes three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and an open floor plan.

Using SQ4D’s Autonomous Robotic Construction System (ARCS), the home was printed on site. The company developed its patent pending ARCS technology to robotically build the footings, foundations, and interior and exterior walls. The proprietary hardware and software enables the construction site to be safer while creating eco-friendly homes at a fraction of the cost.

Built with concrete, the home will deliver strength and durability, but SQ4D also will include a 50-year limited warranty on its 3D-printed structures.

“At $299,999, this home is priced 50% below the cost of comparable newly constructed homes in Riverhead, New York, and represents a major step toward addressing the affordable housing crisis plaguing Long Island,” says Stephen King of Realty Connect, the Zillow Premier agent who has the listing.

SQ4D currently has building plans being reviewed from New York to California.

Celebrate the arrival of spring (well, soon) with these house plans, which all feature breezy outdoor living areas. And for year-round enjoyment, they boast open layouts with generous kitchens.

Attached In-Law Unit

Ideal for a family with a live-in relative (or perhaps even a tenant), this unique design features a first-floor “casita” that includes a kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and private entrance. A balcony on the second floor (in the main portion of the home) sits above the covered porch to offer additional room for sitting outside. See more images, information, and the floor plans.

With its narrow width and variety of porches, this striking design from Visbeen Architects would make a great choice for a lakeside location.

Large Back Porch

This striking modern farmhouse features an open layout that eliminates the traditional breakfast nook in favor of a clean, relaxed dining space visible from the kitchen. Other highlights of the design include the master suite’s enormous walk-in closet and spa-like bathroom. See more images, information, and the floor plans.

Side-Facing Garage

The spacious three-car garage in this plan gives homeowners plenty of space to store lawn equipment, making it easy to find what they need for springtime gardening. And even better: the garage opens to the side to keep the front focused on the wide porch. See more images, information, and the floor plans.
