Homes are Cheaper in Indiana!
Buy a signed Michael Graves mural for $279,900 and receive his first commissioned house in the package! What history! Why can you buy such an outstanding piece of architecture and a signed mural for such a phenomenal price? Because of its location. But since the trend is to move out of the cities for fresh air and space to move around, the woods around Fort Wayne, Indiana should beckon to many . . especially for such a magical design as this one! This seems to be another week for discussing the works of great architects, and the career of Michael Graves is a spectacular one indeed. A man with talent in multiple disciplines, Michael not only excels in designing notable homes and buildings, but also is one of the rare working architects with a NY art museum one-man show. In the same company as Tom Koenig, Michael Graves has been especially concerned with man's need for the inspiration of nature and is careful to bring it into his designs, understanding that there is a critical balance needed by humans between the natural elements and man-made structures. He is also known for bringing color into the lives of his clients, which he has done so well in this Fort Wayne home. In 1967, he expressed color in bright cheerful abstracts. Since then his colors have evolved to more muted earth tones.
At 2,886sf and with 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, this mid-century design has large glass walls that will prevent seasonal affective disorder while the sunny mural and cheerful painted railings will keep you smiling through any type of weather the winter gods want to throw at you. After seeing this great home, every time you go into Target and see the product line he has developed for them, you'll think of this house! Michael Graves 1967 Fort Wayne design $279,900.
