You Can Buy This Frank Lloyd Wright–Designed House for Just $445,000
Frank Lloyd Wright and bargain are not terms usually used in the same sentence—until now. You can buy this Galesburg, Michigan, property designed by Wright for a steal. Eppstein House was finished in 1953 as part of the Acres, a community now on the National Register of Historic Places that Wright devised to include 22 homes (only four were actually built by the architect). The residence is located just one hour from Grand Rapids and two hours from Detroit. Inside the concrete-block façade, the estate features many of the architect’s signature design elements, such as a floor-to-ceiling fireplace in the living room, skylights, and built-ins throughout. There’s an open living/dining area with concrete-block-clad walls and ten-foot windows, a renovated kitchen, and three bedrooms. The one-acre grounds feature verdant wooded landscaping and a cement swimming pool.
