Just like a lot of the stuff Frank Lloyd Wright built. Architecturally interesting but entirely impractical to own.

We had a fella that graduated from Mr. Wrights school design our home. It is INCREDIBLY practical to own/operate. Now I`ll give you that the homes Mr. Wright himself designed leak like sieves. Our does not.

You sure get a lot for your money up there.

Even needing updating, that would be about $1,000,000 around here.

Small world.

I've been in that house, swam in that pool.  My grandfather and Mr. Levin were friends.  He worked as the accountant for Sturgis Scrap and Metal for 30 or 40 years.  My grandparents didn't live too far away.

They had a lot of neat stuff.  They had the first under water scooter I'd ever seen.  They let me use it in the pool.  This had to be early to mid 80s.  They'd eat Christmas dinner with us on occasion although they were Jewish.

Yes, they were eccentric but certainly weren't mafia or anything.

That’s probably the “nicest” house in all of Sturgis, MI. Like was mentioned earlier that area of the state has been stuck in a time capsule. I drove down that street just this last year. Never new that house was there.  I’ll have to check it out next time I’m in the area.

Small world. I've worked in that house recently. It's pretty cool, doesn't really have any roof leaks other than the pool roof.

I don’t know where Sturgis MI is, but if it’s not in the ghetto, that price is a steal.
You guys are nuts.  A $350k house in a neighborhood of homes averaging $90k?   Yeah, good luck with upgrading and then trying to flip it, unless you just want to give it away or take massive loss on your investment.

Parquet floors, yuck

In all seriousness, that's one of those architect special designs.  Those houses have TONS of problems with roof leaks and other issues.  That's very cheap for the square footage, but that property is a mess and high maintenance.

In Michigan? No kidding.  High potential for leaks, and lots of em.
