Property news · Sale reported September 16, 2026 · Asking price is a dated listing figure
Frank Lloyd Wright’s Samuel Eppstein House is being offered for sale in Galesburg, Michigan. The property appeared in Wallpaper*’s September 16 coverage, with Signature Sotheby’s International Realty handling the listing at an asking price of $2.1 million.
Completed in 1953, the residence belongs to Wright’s Usonian work and sits within The Acres in Kalamazoo County. Its architecture directs attention to the relationship between a compact domestic plan and a more expansive shared living space, with glazing opening toward a terrace and the surrounding landscape.

The publicly indexed Sotheby’s listing identifies approximately 2,500 square feet of interior space at 11090 Hawthorne Drive. The scale makes the house an interesting subject for design readers: much of its architectural presence comes from proportion, sequence and the concentration of volume in particular rooms.
In the Journal’s reading of the published material, the living space provides the clearest lesson. A higher roof and a stronger connection to the outdoors can make one part of a home feel generous while the overall footprint remains comparatively contained. The contrast creates a rhythm of compression and release that can be studied independently of the property’s market value.
A sale also changes the way a historic residence enters public conversation. Listing photographs invite a new audience to examine it, but the next phase will depend on everyday use and care. Architectural character lives in recurring decisions about materials, furnishings, repairs and the relationship between interior and site.

This week’s listing is therefore both property news and a prompt to look again at a particular domestic idea. The Eppstein House offers an example of how carefully placed space and light can give a modestly scaled home a distinctive identity.
The $2.1 million figure is the asking price reported in September, rather than evidence of a completed sale. Current availability and property particulars should be confirmed through the listing agent.
