Property Spotlight – Frank Lloyd Wright House for Sale Under $200,000

Who was Frank Lloyd Wright?

Frank Lloyd Wright (born Frank Lincoln Wright, June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959) was an American architect, interior designer, writer and educator, who designed more than 1,000 projects, which resulted in more than 500 completed works. Wright promoted organic architecture (exemplified by Fallingwater), was a leader of the Prairie School movement of architecture (exemplified by the Robie House, the Westcott House, and the Darwin D. Martin House), and developed the concept of the Usonian home (exemplified by the Rosenbaum House). His work includes original and innovative examples of many different building types, including offices, churches, schools, skyscrapers, hotels, and museums. Wright also often designed many of the interior elements of his buildings, such as the furniture and stained glass.

The property is located at 2722 W. Burnham, Milwaukee.  You can check out the neighborhood on google earth.

These homes are considered works of art.  They come up for sale rarely and for many us of on the west or east coast $200,000 would not even buy us a 2 bed/2 bath condo.  Since these homes are considered works of art the appraisal’s scope of work may go beyond the scope for your “typical” american home and an appraiser that specializes in this area may be needed.  Contact the appraisers at www.socalappraisalserv.com is you have questions about appraisals on customs homes.
