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! shock Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright junior too!

"Link not available".

With a lake, I can't imagine it's in Oak Park, where most of FLW's home architecture is.

I was on my PC - don't use my phone for Moparts, or you guys would really be sick of me...
Came up with that new link, though.
Nice neighborhood...

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 Couple that with being WAY outdated, water damaged ceiling and water damaged fireplace, looks like a real "gem"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.

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.

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.

I doubt I could afford the equipment to mow the lawn, clear the driveway of snow, or properly maintain the property year round laugh2 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 realcrazy And I would bet that during the winter that stream would suck the heat right out of the house, again realcrazy Seemed like a good or artsy idea on paper laugh2

I live in a custom Eichler home, so I can appreciate the design.

My first thought about the stream through the middle of the house is every bug and critter on the planet will probably want to be in your house come wintertime and you won't be able to stop them. 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......
