Frank Lloyd Wright's Samuel Eppstein House in Michigan Lists for $2.1M

The Samuel Eppstein House, a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed residence in Galesburg, Michigan, has been listed for sale at $2.1 million through Signature Sotheby's International Realty. Completed in 1953 when Wright was 85, the house is a 2,500-square-foot Usonian design featuring five bedrooms—four of which are compact sleeping cells—and a dramatic primary living space with a soaring monopitch roof and extensive glazing opening onto a terrace. Constructed from monumental concrete blocks, the single-story, low-slung structure exemplifies Wright's Usonian vision for middle-class housing, often situated in pre-planned communities as a creative alternative to suburban homogeneity. The property sits on a 70-acre spread called Galesburg Country Homes, also known as 'The Acres,' located halfway between Detroit and Chicago. It is one of four Wright-designed houses in the community, alongside the Weisblat House, the Curtis Meyer House, and the Eric & Pat Pratt House. These homes share design principles such as sculpted building blocks, bespoke joinery, and linear floor plans. Wright reputedly designed over 1,100 buildings, with around 46 percent actually built. The Eppstein House, largely modified but not extended, remains a finely realized example of his architectural vision. Ownership demands enthusiasm due to interest in information, rentals, and photoshoots. The listing is at 11090 Hawthorne Drive, Galesburg, Michigan, USA.
