The Best House in Michigan Under $1mil

Want to see the very best house in Michigan for sale for under $1 million? Look no further than William Kessler’s Arthur Beckwith House in Farmington Hills. This home is one of Michigan’s architectural gems, having been recognized as a “Record House” in 1961 by Architectural Record Magazine (receiving the prized cover feature), and was featured in Home and Gardens Magazine in the early 1990’s.

The signature sawtooth roof encloses the expansive floor to ceiling windows that provide the spectacular view from every room of this home. The original walnut kitchen, built-in library cabinets, wet bar, and bathroom vanities have been lovingly restored by the current owners giving the home even more mid-century modern credibility. Sitting just outside the Franklin Hills Country Club, the home boasts a spacious deck in the rear that overlooks a lily pond that is original to the property.

While not born in Michigan, William Kessler is most well known for designing homes and other buildings in Michigan and surrounding Midwest states. Kessler first worked with the famed Minoru Yamasaki before opening his own firm out of Grosse Pointe Park.

This home is listed by Lanie and Leslie Hardy of KW Domain.
