Historic Frank Lloyd Wright Home in Michigan Up for Sale
A historic Frank Lloyd Wright-designed residence, the Weisblat House, is up for sale in Charleston Township, near Kalamazoo, Michigan. The 11-room, two-bedroom home is one of four Wright-designed properties in The Acres, a planned community listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1951, it's the second time the house is on the market, with an asking price of $2,250,000.
The Weisblat House showcases Wright's signature in-line layout, with bedrooms tucked away from shared spaces. The home utilises Wright's concrete block system, evident in the large fireplace in the living room. The property sits on a round, one-acre lot, offering a serene landscape. Realtor Brian Kirksey expects high interest due to the updated interior spaces and Wright's international renown.
The house was expanded in 1961 by Taliesin Associated Architects, following Wright's death. The addition was carried out by apprentices John Howe and William Wesley Peters. The land and bonus lot are protected by a no-build clause, ensuring the home remains in its current condition. The Weisblat House is also protected by a preservation easement, further safeguarding its historic integrity.
The Weisblat House, a remarkable example of Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian style, is now available for purchase. Its unique design, historic significance, and serene setting make it a rare opportunity for buyers. With its protected status and updated interior spaces, the house promises to preserve Wright's legacy while offering modern comforts.
