A simple redwood cube that appears to hover elegantly over the ground in Michigan isn’t just an architectural marvel—it’s also the most popular home this week on ®.
Built by the renowned architect and University of Michigan architecture professor Tivadar Balogh in 1958 for his wife, Dorothy, and their family, the home is now available for the first time. Once the cube, located just outside Ann Arbor, landed on the market, clicks soon followed.
Priced at $750,000, it’s a rare architectural gem that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.
Stylish homes dominated the week’s 10 most popular homes. You clicked on a surprisingly chic geodesic dome built in the woods in Virginia, a contemporary mansion in Pennsylvania with gleaming concrete floors and 32-foot ceilings, and a rare Frank Lloyd Wright home in New Jersey.
