This is what Mid Century luxury looked like. The homes design and structure are a testament to the artist that Frank Lloyd Wright was. The restoration with Mid Century furnishings give the vacationing renter a taste of that time period with modern touches added for convenience. This is gorgeous Mike, good job highlighting it.
Beautiful....My father, Loren Pope, commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to “make him a house” which he did. The “Usonian”house is now a property of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, located on Woodlawn Plantation, near Alexandria, Virginia . The house was dismantled and moved twice to make way for Route 66. It is open to the public.
Such a unique property! Love the design and layout. Not like other properties you have on your channel so nice to see you mixing it up beyond A’s, containers and tiny homes.
I ate the fixtures in the only house, structure in Houston that Frank Lloyd Wright did. And I worked on a house in Cool California, not far from Paradise California much like this house. It had a french air system dug around it buried all around the house to keep it a constant cool temperature.
The more one learns of the man, Frank Lloyd Wright, his Architecture, Family, History, Personal and Professional Life, (the more it becomes apparent that he had a depth of understanding of what's known as: Ancient Knowledge, this I define as: *"Quantum Physics, the Comprehension of Extreme Ancient History, including the History of our Universe, and the clarity of the necessary value of maturing the Human Mind in its Thought Habit to Master the Ego with the Higher Mind, (this not being what one assumes as practiced by Buddhist Monks)".* Genius, yes, but likely learned with a natural gift for Architecture and Design. A man that fully owned his own Thoughts and that is key to the Life Journey desires, achievements, and successes. Platinum clarity ...
Note at one time there was a swimming pool where now there is a picnic table and pad. A wise choice to remove by the current owners during the restoration.
I heard Frank lloyd Wright designed a home for low income families. The tables benches shelves and drawers were all built into the house. I've been looking for information about it. Does anyone know anything about small F.l.R home?
Look up Usonian Homes. It was FLLW’s attempt at affordable housing and many were built but most ended up costing more. The Loveness house is a great one.
This FLLW home probably was "designed" by the Taliesin fellowship Architects with FLLW supervising. It is a take-off on the small Usonian homes which were designed in the 30s through the 50s. Many of the design features that you see in this home are very much like those earlier designs. The stove that is located in the fireplace space is the first time I've seen that and I suspect that it is an accommodation to permit air conditioning of the entire structure. The 3rd bedroom that you showed shows a recently added small wall-mounted air conditioner with a rather clumsy lookng vent duct to the exterior. Those kinds of ACs have only been available in recent years. It's too bad that it couldn't have been better incorporated into the design. It's no surprise that a recent modification does not "fit" comfortably with Wright's otherwise clean "Usonian" design- he was not around to comment on it. Wright never let utilitarian objects overpower his designs while he was around to prevent it. He Died in 1959 at the age of 92 years. His architectural practice lasted longer than most people live.
Phyl, I am afraid some of your comments are not correct. The Eppstein House is not a SMALL usonian. It was designed by the master himself. I don’t see how a stove in the fireplace could permit air conditioning?! There is a wood burning stove in the family room. Climate controle units were installed throughout the house to stop the negative effect that the humid Michigan climate has on these homes, and to preserve it for future generations. I am not sure if I can add a wiki link here, but if you search for: wikipedia the acres frank lloyd wright, you get the correct page to the project of which The Eppstein House was part.
A "full restoration project" that managed to mangle the poor thing in so many ways. The furniture is MCM, but I doubt it was what Wright designed for the house; it doesn't look it. Track lighting in the sky light?! Ruining the carport with that janky driveway. Ruining the fireplace with that stove?! The less said about the gravel in that "courtyard" the better, but they've graveled what was obviously supposed to be a garden area. Wright was about merging nature and living, so that wouldn't have flown. He had fights with people over trash can placement; if you came to him for a house, he expected you to live in it the way he intended, otherwise you should have asked someone else. If he wasn't rolling in his grave already, he'd be having a coronary seeing this.
Mike, thank you so very much for this gem! But PLEASE sort out your thee’s and the’s. The only time you should use the “thee” is before a word that begins with a vowel (a, e, I, o, & u). I don’t know the rule about a & ay. Look it up. Thanks for the tour. 💜

Thanks, David! Mid century luxury indeed

Wow. This is very unique and nice. Thanks for touring us MIKE. keep safe 😊
My pleasure! Thanks for watching 😊
What a fantastic home.
The "outdoor seating area..." Is actually the carport...
Mid century modern homes hold their value more than any other home designs. ⭐Absolutely gorgeous ⭐
Agreed! Thanks for watching!
An incredible video of an incredible home. Wonderful work Mike, thank you so much!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Fabulous effort and thank you. Love this mans work, seeing this one passing by, so bliss to catch up.
Beautiful! Just what I love. One level, lots of space.
Such a unique property! Love the design and layout. Not like other properties you have on your channel so nice to see you mixing it up beyond A’s, containers and tiny homes.
Very unique indeed! A nice change from some of the usual cabins I focus on. Thanks for watching!
wow a real rare gem! So cool you got to stay here!
Rare indeed! Thanks man
What a beautiful home. I love FLW's work. Thank you.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching
Of course the shower curtain had a FLW vibe. The design is from the stained glass in the Coonley House!
Love it! I had no idea. Thanks for sharing
I ate the fixtures in the only house, structure in Houston that Frank Lloyd Wright did. And I worked on a house in Cool California, not far from Paradise California much like this house. It had a french air system dug around it buried all around the house to keep it a constant cool temperature.
That’s an amazing home. The landscape seems a bit bare but the home is stunning.
I hear ya! I visited in March when it's still very cold in Michigan so a lot of dead trees/plants
Thank you for featuring this home, I never knew it existed.
My pleasure!

All bow to the great genius FLW!!!
Haha all bow!
That is the weardst and also the coolest house i've seen
Haha that's Frank Lloyd Wright for ya!
Beautiful
Looks wonderful!
Thank you!!
I knew Eric Lloyd; his grandson. We were in a group together. Cindy
Wow, it's a small world!
Amazing
What time of year did you stay there? Was the house comfortable, temperature-wise?
I was there in late March and it was very comfortable!
I’m a huge FLW fan!!!
Me too!!
The shower curtain is a FLW design for stained glass or carpet in another house FYI.
This is incredible. Thank you for putting this on my radar. I've always wanted to stay at a FLW home.
My pleasure! I didn't know that staying in a FLW home would even be possible. I'm glad I found this place!

Thee may be used to stress the word. For example: The Eppstein House is THEE best house to spend the weekend ;)
I'd put that picnic table in the fireplace so fast. And those 2 coffee tables are way too high....off to the fireplace!
the house originally had 5 bedrooms..what a terrible thing to do to a beautiful home..that's like taking away one of your eyes on your face
They taught all about Wright in your high school? Really, which class?
sure isnt a warm welcoming home more like a STAY OUT!
I don’t like FLR architecture!!!
