Mopar related because it has a Pentastar in the middle of the brick driveway! $2.75 million with a 5 car garage overlooking it's own lake, I can only imagine what the property taxes are in Illinoise! It is within a few miles of my little shack, never knew it existed! Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright junior too! https://www.facebook.com/commerce/listing/416492036317520/?media_id=1&ref=share_attachment

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Yikes...would want NOTHING to do with that place. Suspect heating it is a real treat. Couple that with being WAY outdated, water damaged ceiling and water damaged fireplace, looks like a real "gem"

Wow. From the website.
Monthly costs with a 30 yr mortgage at 3% and $550,000 down.
Principal & Interest $9,271 Property Tax $4,917 Home Insurance $630 HOA Mortgage Insurance $0
Total $14,817/month Total $177,804/annually
Wow. With a monthly property tax bill that is more than my annual property taxes for both the house and the shop, this is totally out of my league. Wow.

any Frank Lloyd Wright house is going to bring a premium ONLY to someone that cares. When I was in college, I spent quite a bit of time reading up on the guy and studying his efforts. Guy designed some things that were 'neat'. Not at all practical, but 'neat'. Fallingwater is an example of something that remains 'neat'. TOTALLY not practical for 99.999% of the real world, but neat. Town I live in has some homes that were designed by Alden Dow, who studied under Wright back in '33. His homes also are 'neat', but not something that I would ever chose to own. There is a certain snob appeal to the 'artsy' type folks with these places. For the same money, you could certainly create something that was WAY more functional and served a legit purpose.

That is a very cool place, thanks for sharing. I love the architecture and the decor of that era. I have seen similar house in Michigan and Wisconsin. The eye popper was the yearly $60,000 USD Property Taxes.

I doubt I could afford the equipment to mow the lawn, clear the driveway of snow, or properly maintain the property year round Still nice but I'll take an old farm house or similar type home anytime. Those type houses just never struck me as a functional design....more artsy as noted. Speaking of "Falling Waters" anyone that has lived in the Southwestern PA area and felt the misery of a high humidity summer would never build a home with a stream running right through the middle of their living room And I would bet that during the winter that stream would suck the heat right out of the house, again Seemed like a good or artsy idea on paper

I live in a custom Eichler home, so I can appreciate the design.
It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose… as long as you look good doing it!

At least that's my take. I like some of the elements of the house the OP listed but it's kinda like Angelina Jolie. put too many nice features in one place it starts to look like a cartoon.

I appreciate the house for its historical design, but $60K in TAXES??!!, But I guess if you can afford the house, you can afford the taxes. At the end of the day, it's still in crappy blue state IL......
