The first 3D-printed home in the United States has gone on sale.

Property website Zillow have listed the New York statehouse online with an asking price of $299,999.

It has been built by the company SQ4D using an "autonomous robotic construction system" that involved a large 3D printer creating each piece of the home and the group feel that the property is more suitable than a traditional home.

The company said: "Built with concrete, this home will deliver strength and durability that conventional wood-frame construction cannot match."

The 1,400-square-foot property has three bedrooms, two bathrooms as well as a detached two-car garage.

SQ4D revealed that their ultimate goal is to produce houses in the same fashion to reduce the cost of home ownership.
