    Before even opening the thread i thought “Frank Lloyd Wright house that needs $3.5MM in repairs for only 750k”

    Only non-witches get due process.

      My thoughts as well. $725K would just be the beginning, and I suspect it is on some historic register so you would be very limited as to how you could go about fixing what is needed. As much as I admire the stye, in that size of house there's a sameness to the rooms that would eventually get to me. Also, his gathering areas strike me as somewhat cold and distant.

      Design-wise, though, there are some spectacular areas in it

        There are several FLW homes in my town (one of which was owned by a surgeon with whom I worked). Every time I was in one, my thoughts were, "Nice to look at. Difficult to live in. Fabulously expensive to maintain." The surgeon I mentioned had a "We finally fixed the leaky roof" party one year.

        I mean, this is nice to look at, but could you really live in this space?

        I'm surprised the realtor put these photos in.

        Gonna need some "migrants" from Martha's Vineyard to clean this up...

        Not sure I like this idea of "open concept."

          Yeah, that first room you posted was one that made me think of cold and distant. There's no intimacy.

            The aesthetic is fine with me. It’s the 6- and 7-figure repair bills that would keep me away.

              My photoshop eye caught that the night photos are fake. Photoshopped of the previous image. Weird.

                Ok, I am going to say it. I effin hate FLW designs. Can’t stand them. They look like James Bond Villain Lairs. Horrible. Do you know how many times I have been dragged to Fallingwater? 16. Sixteen agonizing trips totaling 35 hours of my life gone.

                      Mom again
                      And an outside visit to point it out to Lucas. Didn’t count it since we didn’t go inside.

                          You are too nice. Other than my mom, I would have just paid for the cab fare for my relatives to go.

                            I don't understand the appeal of these houses, either. They're self-conscious, and a bit up-themselves, and don't look like homes at all.

                                        Where’s IT when you need him

                                        He's probably trying to gouge his own eyes out.

                                          While FLW provided many ideas for trends, much of it wasn't practical for the real world - a bit like couture fashion.
