Sold - StealthStudio - A Tiny House on Wheels

Seller's Description

The StealthStudio is a box truck converted into a modern apartment on wheels designed for urban stealth living. Borrowing from vanlife and tiny house concepts, the StealthStudio offers the flexibility and mobility of a van with the roominess and amenities of a tiny house. From the outside, the StealthStudio looks like an average work truck, but once inside, it feels like a hip and modern studio apartment. The build has been featured on two YouTube channels with the tours garnering over 7 million combined views and overwhelmingly positive reactions. It has been incredibly flattering! I have been living in the StealthStudio full-time since January 2021 and am enjoying it thoroughly. I built it for the purpose of having cheap housing while I pursued a masters degree in urban planning. Recently, however, some enticing opportunities to travel abroad have come my way and it makes sense to part with the "Stealthy." I built the StealthStudio with the intention of living in it full-time. If I'm not going to do that, I'd rather find it a home that will get good use out of it. This would be a great vehicle for a dj/musician/producer, travel nurse, tech worker, or anyone looking to live an urban lifestyle while avoiding the insane cost of housing in our cities. Willing to deliver for serious buyers! There's nothing quite like the Stealthy making it difficult to price. The list price is based on the expense, time, labor I'd put into it along with comparing it to other listings. That said, I'm willing to negotiate within reason.

For instance, most cities require ADU's to have a foundation with permanent water, sewage, and electrical hookups. The StealthStudio could get around these regulations and still function much like an ADU with relatively inexpensive modifications that would not be subject to local regulations/inspections.
