Dream houses are not only for the rich

A Frank Lloyd Wright home is not only for the rich

Who thinks of a house designed and built by a world-famous architect as being in their budget? An investigation may reveal some surprising results.

The cost for a home designed by a certified architect can vary widely, but generally ranges from 5% to 20% of the total construction cost. This means for a $1 million home, you could be looking at an architect fee of $50,000 to $200,000. 

For many, that means that they could negotiate their way into their dream home right here in Greenville. Consider one nearby example.

Could this Frank Lloyd Wright home be in your neighborhood?

Which view do you prefer, the front or the side?

There is no enforcer, but the owner of such a house hires a first-class lawn care company.  This grass, after a cut, measured 6 inches high. And gaze at the deep, vibrant green hues.

Appliances and heating and air-conditioning systems have to be updated periodically, but the thoughtful floor plan, the placement, size, and configuration of the windows will please occupants for generations.

You can stand before a masterpiece and ponder the myriad details. But some experiences have to be lived to be fully appreciated.

Inevitably, your thoughts run to who lives with you in your dream house, a dream mate? Now the picture is complete.

Does the idea that you could live in such a home stir your imagination?
