A Frank Lloyd Wright Home “For Sale” in West Michigan

When I first started this blog, one of my earlier posts was about a Frank Lloyd Wright home that was “for sale” in Minnesota. That post showed me just how much interest there is in homes built by Frank Lloyd Wright. That post is still one of the “most viewed” posts on the entire Scott Winters Blog. (You can read that blog post here: Frank Lloyd Wright Home “For Sale”). It looks like that home is still available.

But, if you are looking for something closer…There is now a Frank Lloyd Write home available in Galesburg, MI.

The house is set in a neighborhood just outside Kalamazoo. It sits among 4 other houses on 71 rolling acres. This rural neighborhood is known as “The Acres”. Each house owns land in a 1-acre circle — the remaining land is held in common.

The asking price for the home is $510,000. It comes with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. It has a total of 2,429 square feet of living space.

According to the listing, provided by Ethos Real Estate:
…this Frank Lloyd Wright designed usonian home is truly a rare opportunity. Nestled at the end of a quiet tree lined private street, the property is set on an extraordinary private 1-acre circular shaped parcel site, and is located in Frank Lloyd Wright designed subdivision “The Acres” filled with other unique Wright homes. Custom milled Honduran mahogany throughout, beautiful natural light throughout, this home has been well taken care of and is as much a work of art as it is a home. Both the home and the subdivision are placed on the National Park Service’s National Register of Historic Places.

If you’d like to see pictures of the home and get additional information — here is a link: www.scottwintersrealestate.com/216081159.

There is also a nice article about the home from the Detroit Free Press. You can read the article here: Frank Lloyd Wright home for sale near Kalamazoo. The article also has additional pictures of the home.

If you, or anyone you know, is interested…please let me know!I would love to sell a Frank Lloyd Wright home!

I’ve always been the kind of person who notices the things other people overlook — strange roadside attractions, forgotten pieces of history, unusual places, odd trends, and the little things in everyday life that make you stop and say, “Wait... when did that become normal?” That curiosity is really what this blog is all about. I’m especially drawn to the stories hiding in plain sight: a forgotten piece of Michigan history, a roadside attraction you’d never know was there, an old building with a story behind it, or some completely ordinary part of modern life that suddenly seems ridiculous when you think about it for more than five seconds. Some days you’ll find a fascinating history story here. Other days I may take you along on a road trip, dig into something weird from Michigan’s past, share an interesting discovery, or simply rant about something in modern life that makes absolutely no sense. I don’t pretend to have all the answers. I just enjoy asking the questions, digging around for the stories, and sharing the interesting things I find along the way. My goal is simple: Keep looking. Keep learning. And keep things interesting.
