Ooooooh. I waaaaaaaaaant it.

1. Beautiful..just beautiful.

There is just nothing better than Prairie School IMO.

2. That's only 31,000 lap dances right?

You could have the place in no time, unless you've changed careers

[lildreamer316]

10. It'll be a few more than that...

after taxes due every year.
Ouch.

[Burma Jones]

3. I'll bet maintenance costs are enormous

and who the hell wants to live in Decatur?

That being said, I would like to live in a Wright House, it would be like living in a sculpture...with Bathrooms.

4. I'm holding out for Falling Water.

:D

6. scrwe that, I want this one

just think of the parties you could throw.

[tk2kewl]

8. ... and how much fun you could have with your skateboard!

:D

[tk2kewl]

5. It's almost big enough for John Edwards!

:P

[Richardo]

7. $620K does seem like a bargain

I don't have it, you understand, but I'd expect a FLW home of that size to go for a lot more. Only $114/sq ft.

[never cry wolf]

15. Real Estate in downstate Illinois is very depressed

My $300k tract home in the burbs would go for 60 or 70k down there. I just checked, median home value in Decatur is $62k

[ironflange]

9. This has got to be a joke

$620G for that?!? My tickytacky box isn't worth much less that that!

[northzax]

11. welll, part of it may be in the covenants

that are attached. in many FLW homes, you can't even change the napkins on the table.

[SteppingRazor]

12. Wow. That's cheap.

Down here in South Florida, that house would probably be on the water, and would probably run about $5 mil.

[El Fuego]

20. I was thinking the same thing!

$620,000 doesn't go very far in South Florida. In some areas it's hard to find a decent house under $1 million.

[enigmatic]

13. Wow!

That's beautiful; I love Frank Lloyd Wright's work....

[Zuiderelle]

14. Except for it being in Decatur. :(

[QMPMom]

16. I want it! It's close enough to my "home" in Indiana.

For that house, living in Illinois would almost be bearable.

[XNASA]

17. Meh.

You can't swing a cat around here without hitting some kind of FLW designed building. ;)

[greatauntoftriplets]

18. Especially where I live....

Drive a mile and I am on a street loaded with FLW houses.

[Richardo]

19. You and your big city cat-swinging ways....

:eyes:

[Momgonepostal]

21. It's lovely...The dining room chairs have a "Wright" feel too...

Do you think he did any of the furnishings?

[Richardo]

22. I think he did all the furnishings

I think I've seen this house on some edjamacational program at one time or another.
